Cattle, like dogs, horses, and donkeys, have their own unique language. They are not people, and as much as we might wish otherwise, they communicate in their distinct ways.

To truly connect with them, you need to learn their intriguing lingo.

But if cattle could talk, this is how they'd explain what makes them tick:
  1. 1I like my friends so much that I'll follow them anywhere.
  2. I like you, so I'm going to lick you.
  3. Please brush me. Brushing is like licking and means you like me.
  4. Please call me by my name. Yes, I know my name.
