Baby cow, six hours old, washed by its mum

Cute footage has emerged from Canada of a six-hour-old cow being given a wash by its mother.

The video, filmed in Ontario yesterday, shows the tiny cow in its stall shortly after it was born as its mother licks it clean.

The filmer later wrote online: "This baby calf is just six hours old; she was born this morning on our farm.

"The mother cow is doing a good job of keeping her safe and she's busy licking her, getting her baby all spit and polished.

"This is the cow's 7th calf and she is an excellent mom," she continued.
