A cow licks her baby about 3 1/2 hours after birth at the Miracle of Life exhbit at the Michigan State Fair on Aug. 31. Licking the baby not only cleans the baby, but serves as stimulation. In most cases, calves start to stand on their own between 4 and 5 hours. When they do, the crowd at the fair cheers. The Michigan State University veterinarians and students are great in educating fairgoers about the animals. They said that since cows are prey, not predators, many of the cows help lick and raise the calves as keeping one healthy helps all. Or, as an African proverb goes, it takes a village to raise a child.
