Below left is the cow feeder, and pictured right is the crusher.
The crusher keeps a cow still whilst tending to their welfare, but I don't agree with using the crusher for this. But I don't have to agree.
A cow's milk is obviously better for the calf than substitute powered milk, and comparing the health of calf's there is a noticeable difference; but adoption (parenthood) should never be forced upon any creature.

Baby calf feeding from a teat attached to a bucket.
Interesting to know that a cows ears lower when they are feeling unwell. Lambs are fed via a teat attached to a bottle, calf's use a bucket!
This one had a teat attached to what appeared to be a wine bottle.
Each of the three calf's took two bottles, the previous calf wanted milk from the turn of the calf thereafter, so a degree of patience is required when feeding.

The cow pictured below right is known as a Belgium blue.
It's not hard to see why people should never strike violence upon cows.
Mullein is an expectorant, helping the body expel excess mucus, by helping make your coughs more productive. It is also a demulcent, creating a soothing anti-inflammatory coating over mucous membranes.
I found being around these cows calming, giving me perspective of just how erratic my disturbed mind is throughout the day. I was not bored or bothered whilst I waited for Charlie to finish his work.
He works with coos, lots of Limousin cows.
