Baby cows don't know any better

The grown up cows now that they are given one section of pasture every day, and they must stick to that one pasture. They have learned to be content with what they are given.

But for little cows, the grass is always greener on the other side of the piece of twine that divides the pasture into pieces.

So you will often find them like this:
They know that momma won't cross that line. But they aren't phased by it, and off they trot to take a nap free from mom's watchful eye. (Though momma is never very far - that is her closest to the twine, staring at me)
Mom let's him be; you got to let the kids make their own mistakes sometimes.

But that freedom comes to a screeching halt when danger is around. The danger this time would be me and my camera. I looked a little too interested, and suddenly momma cow starts moooing like crazy. I tried to get some on video, but I hit the wrong button. So for now, just envisions really angry mooing.

Baby cow pretends not to hear, and momma cow elevates the mooing. If baby cow continues to ignore it, other cows will join in.

Eventually, baby cow obeys.

He gets up on his wobbly legs and saunters back to momma who undoubtedly gives him a severe tongue lashing.
