Visually, cattle may communicate by body language. They are able to see another herd members actions and interpret them. They may give aggressive cues which would mean to the other cattle to stay away etc. They also use auditory senses to communicate. If a cow hears her calf "bawling" she is going to respond to her calf, and that may be her calf's way of communicating with her. They also use tactile communication as well. They may touch one another for individual recognition which is a way of communication. They also use chemical/smell communication. They can determine receptiveness in sexual interactions by olfactory cues in the urine, sweat, breath and feces of the female.

This may depend on the size of the herd and the relative sizes of the cattle in the herd to on another. Complex hierarchy usually happens when there can be multiple triangular relationships that exist. If a herd is smaller, there will most likely be triangular relationships between the cattle instead of complex due to the number of individuals.

The flehmen response facilitates the transfer of pheromones into the vomeronasal organ which is an olfactory organ. ]]> 2019-04-04 23:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348753961 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348754302 In this video, it shows the single most important behavior signaling that a female is in heat which is the female's willingness to stand immobile to be mounted. ]]> 2019-04-04 23:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348754302 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348754876 The cow will lick her young after birth which is stimulated by the odor and the taste of the amniotic fluids on the newborn. This will cause the mother to bond with her calf and initiate maternal responsiveness. If the cow is laying down when she is giving birth, she will often glance over at the calf after she has given birth. If the calf moves, it elicits a stronger response from the cow and she is more likely to accept her calf. The calf will also start nursing from cow which the cow will lick/groom the calf during which will also form a bond between the two. ]]> 2019-04-04 23:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348754876 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348756205 First the calf that is born will move and try to stand which is initiated by the licking and grooming from the mother. This is stimulates the calf to get up and walk. The newborn will then start to walk and the licking of the mother will cause the calf to stay close to her since she keeps in close proximity and the calf may follow any large thing that moves. The calf will then engage in teat seeking which will form a bond with the mother. Once the teat is found, the mother will continue to groom, which will enforce the bond between the two. ]]> 2019-04-05 00:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348756205 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348758243 Normally, cattle are grazers, meaning they eat many meals throughout the day. Cattle ingest around 12 meals per day. They will usually eat more in groups than they would as individuals. Since cattle have only bottom teeth and a dental pad on top, the texture, length and ease of prehension must be accounted for. ]]> 2019-04-05 00:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348758243 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348763565 2019-04-05 00:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/348763565 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/355657745 2019-04-30 23:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/355657745 kmhigg1 https://padlet.com/kmhigg1/y1z5s2ya2sdq/wish/355660696 https://www.grandin.com/welfare.audit.using.haccp.html
