When the calves are first born the mothers will lick the mucus off of the calf's body until it is clean. This encourages the calf to attempt to stand and go find the udder. From that day forth they (the cows) watch out for them (the calves), let them suckle once ever 2 to 3 hours, babysit them, and teach them where to go, what to eat and that the person looking after them is someone to be respected. Cows also communicate with their calves whenever they get separated by bellering for each other. This voice recognition has been established at birth. Cows will also protect their calves by using their heads, feet and chests to crush and stomp on a predator that threatens their calves. Cows very often know the difference between their human owners and a predator like a wolf, a cougar a bear or a coyote, and those cows that know that humans are not a threat are docile around humans, but not around predators. Some cattle producers though, may have some cows that will show aggression towards a human because it's been ingrained in her, from what her mother has done (most likely) that humans can also be a threat and should not be trusted. (For producers who don't want aggressive cows in their herd, these types of cows should be culled, as well as their daughters, as it is often believed that aggression/docility towards humans can be genetically linked).
