Breastfeeding a Calf

Monday Sep 6, 2010

Well, if you think about it, many of us drink cow’s milk, so this Indian villager is just returning the favor:

Since the death of the calf’s mother when it was only three days old, Chouthi Bai has breastfed the animal three or four times a day.

“After her mother died, I held her in my arms and breastfed her. I nurtured her by feeding her my milk. She was so young when the cow died. For me there is no difference between a calf and an infant,” Bai, a resident of Kilchu village in India’s desert state of Rajasthan, said on Saturday.
