AT EVERYONE SAYIN THIS COW IF JUST A CALF:this breed of cow is actually very small compared to normal cows, Dexter`s are popular with meat because they are 60 % meat, when the common cow is only 50% meat, plus, it is smaller so it eats less, cutting feed and hay costs in half :)
would they be strong enough to ride? i live on a farm were we breed full sized cattle, and i was just wondeing if an av. weight 13 year old would be able 2 'fit' onto one of them? (a light 13 year old)???
@doglover598 Cows actually have a better back and bone structure for riding than horses, horses are faster so we decided to ride them and eat cows, cows are pissed.
@xXJAZZYJASPERXx looks more like a Limousin to me, and yeh it is a calf looks about 6-8 months old, so as for your comment looks like you dont know to much either!!!!, only looks cruel cuz your not used to seeing someone riding a calf/cow, may shock you but some cattle are used to plough and pull carts in some country's, girl looks light enough calf more interested in tip bits its getting than the rider.
People are saying how young this cow is. But Dexters are naturally small, though very sturdy and strong. They're only hip-height when full grown. How old is this cow really?
FodderSolutions. NET ... feed all animals, + grass juice. cow water... kangen4pets. com/pages/radio. html has testimony of cows giving 28% more & sweeter milk. While these units are to small. The SHERATON DELFINA hotel in Santa Monica, CA. Has a 10,000$ unit that supplies so much alkaline (drinking)& acidic (cleaning) water. The ENTIRE hotel is cleaned in the acidic water and NO chemicals are ever used... = no injury to people, property, or planet.
Fuck!, fuck, fuck, fuck. Goddamn it. Fuck, fuck. Until when are animals going to suffer at the hands of maggot humans? Shit. This is fucking wrong. That little fucking blond bitch on top of that poor animal should be instead on top of big fucking cock and riding it. And I don't give a fuck who's gonna fucking disagree with me on that one. Fuck you if you do. What about the rights of animals, eh?Fuck, I swear, I'd see that shit, I'd push that bitch down in a heart beat. Poor little animal.
@AzeezaLover This 'calf' is alot bigger and stronger than you think, and with the girl riding it (who is quite small and i assume quite light in weight), it would bearly feel it. They can handle alot of weight and are used for draughting and crop work, so this is nothing.
FYI ... This is a Dexter breed. She's not as young as she looks just judging by her size. Mainstream breeds are this big in only a few months, but this girl looks older & bigger than my 18 month old Dexter bull.
It's fine, don't sweat it. This cow will get better treatment her whole life than most cows ever get. Kudos for training her for riding.
u cant ride a calf; it's painful for it's back. Seriously, this is kind of hurting the poor calf. And it's extremely young, so u can easily get hurt if it does something unexpected. Please stop riding this calf or ANY BABY ANIMAL!
Honestly, I don't know why people post videos. No matter the topic, all you'll get is ignorant, stupid, self-righteous comments, and boorish judgments, mostly from proponents of moral relativism and politically correctness (and they dare to call Xstians "hypocrites"!) Yeah, we can see how that's working out. Almost none of you know a thing about livestock of ANY type (u probably think they grow on trees), so just shut the Eff up, we're sick of hearing from you.
Have any of you actually done any research? I'd say the real idiots are those who haven't. I am considering getting one when i have a place with considerable amount of grass and having it as a companion/family pet. Done the research. Dexter cows are the smallest breed of cow in the world. That cow looks of considerable age. Males stand a maximum of 44 inches. Yeah, you get the idea. So lay off her, I'd probably ride mine too while taking it for a walk around town, and i'm only 116 pounds. >.>
I really doubt the calf is in pain. If he was he wouldnt walk forward, she looks barely 110. If she made it run for hours with her on him, then yes. Other wise, hes fine for alittle walk.
This calf would wieght atleast 200 kilo's so I think this chick can ride it. Your all just judging half of you wouldnt even know the difference between a cow, heifer, steer and bull.
Half these people have no idea what a farm is let alone a fucking cow. That girl is not fully grown yet either...it evens out. If it was a 300 pound women on there then YES you can bitch, however it is not. The cow is fine for christ sake. Do some research before you bitch.
The cow is big enought to have a 60 pound girl hop on, dorks. There are people all over the world riding full sized trained cows for fun. Just chill out. Is it better to ride it, or turn it into a veal chop?
Cows spine, pelvis and back legs are exactly the same shape, versatility and type as a horses. I go to college at an agricultural college doing an equine course and down at the farm we have a cow called Daisy that is ridden. You can walk trot canter gallop and jump cows, plus they also mature faster than horses. It's like telling people not to ride racehorses because they are young, racehorses are raced as two year olds, SURELY THATS WAY TO YOUNG AND DANGEROUS TOO!
@xXeMokiDXxMCRXx Your racehorse reference doesn't help prove your point .Two year-olds are not done growing yet. That's why there's so many OTTB's with injuries that render them practically useless, other than dog meat. I don't think anybody is refuting the fact that you can ride a cow, just that in general, most cows can't handle being ridden the way most horses are ridden. Sure, they have the same bones as a horse, but they're not put together the same. Weight is not distributed the same.
@SarGuidotti That is why you build up muscle tone s girl probably is very light. My racehorse was raced at a very young age and was raced up until he was 11. He also snapped his pelvis in half. He is recovered and is now going to start jumping again. Horses and cattle are very versatile creatures and if this cow didn't want this kid on her she would of slung her off, every cow knows how to do that as it is how to get a predator off that is going for a killing bite.
@mciceteade I'm sure most manure doesn't differ alot, it's like saying would welsh pony poo work just as well as thoroughbreds. I honestly didn't get that website, I have my first certificate and diploma in horticulture but we did organic growing with normal soil, just a down to earth kinda course. I just left the website lol was rather confusing.
@xXeMokiDXxMCRXx it is. I agree with you. I wish they wouldn't race horses until they were 4-6.... at least they've finished developing and filling out for the most part.
@OutdoorDreamer733 Not if they are trained properly, most horses are backed and ridden at two years old, sure of course it will damage them if they are pumped fulla steriods and raced their bollocks off, but some trainers train them correctly and it doesn't bother them.
@xXeMokiDXxMCRXx Right- Zenyatta is a great example. Unfortunetly, most people do not like to wait, and start the horses at 1-2 years of age. Their knees are closing at this time and running them as hard as they do can, and will damage them forever. I have seen many many rescued TB.
@OutdoorDreamer733 I have an ex steeplechaser, his legs are covered with splints and he has seen a few years of abuse, but when he came to my boss it all stopped and he loved life and his racing, though now being an ex racer if the alarm goes off next door it sounds like a starting gate his head will go up ears forwards and we are OFF and I have to wait until he has decided that he has 'won the race' so I can pull him up. Mustangs, QHs, GVs, most native breeds and tbs are all backed at 2.
hell this doesnt show the versatility of a certain breed. I taught a holstein heifer how to pull a cart...without someone leading her...or with treats. Don't talk up a breed unless theres actually something to talk about. Cute little boogar tho and cute vid. Dont get me wrong looks fun lol and I'm glad to see kids having fun with cattle. BTW, I am a veterinary student and a lifelong dairy farmer. That calf is fine she's not hurting it.
all you people writing these comments are really, really, really, stupid, fucking morons, its a fucking cow, you eat hamburgers right, the cow will be fine, and when it gets older, it will be a nice juicy burger.
Im sure this girl is very light anyhow. So just give it a rest. There just having some fun the cow is not in any pain at all probly just didnt want to get riddin thats all.
@amax7895 This cow is not young. It's an Irish Dexter cow which is a MINIATURE cow. It's not going to get any bigger! It's an adult miniature cow. People ride miniature horses don't they? The cow is fine. Do your research before you assume.
This is adorable, and you people griping about cow's backs..... do your research this cow would have gotten her off if it was in pain go complain about animal abuse on a video where people are ACTUALLY hurting animals like kicking them, neglecting them, hitting them with whips viciously.... lol and if this is a beef cattle, hello! She's going to get turned into your steak!
@Justasam You're an idiot. Cows aren't MEANT to be ridden. This is wrong. No matter how LIGHT the person IS on the cow. It still isn't right. And, you don't eat EVERY cow in the world. Geez.
hey you ppl with issues my friends had dexters THEY DO NOT GET BIG !!! this is a adult cow !!! She seems to be fine with the girl on her back .if she was hurting do you think she would be walking down the road ??? You can train them to pull a little one person buggy and you can train them to do tricks so why not ride ?? Geez we ride horses why not cows ?
Just saying if she doesnt ride it everyday for hours one end, the heifer will be fine. and you can tell it is not bothering the heifer so, that means it is not hurting her.
That's a sin it's too young to have weight on it's back . Just because the calf is allowing you to ride it doesn't mean it won't do damage to it's back when it's older .
@TrampOllen haha you are such a dumbass, and i wasn't bringing religion into this ! I was saying that it was mean to put weight on calf because it could possibly hurt it's back in the future . And "a sin", means that's "mean" If that's what confused your ignornant self . I hope you know what ignornant means .
We have a 10 month old calf that we ride but we dont ride it for very long so she wont be hurt!! If she didnt want us on her we would be on the ground in a heartbeat, trust me
wie kann man das einem kalb bloß antun??? das arme kalb!! man müsste echt nen tierschutzverband anrufen. mit ner älteren kuh ok, aber man reitet ja auch kein fohlen, oder?? sorry, aber das ist echt zum kot***
@smoothbaby12 if she was hurting it why would that person let her ride her cow. I would not let anyone ride my cow if I knew it would hurt it. And she has to know, I mean who would own a cow and not know anything about it.
@SarGuidotti what is wrong with you? you look at it like the person riding it is like 200 pounds or something. that girls looks like she is about 90 maybe 100 pounds.
that COW is just fine. and plus it is probly a teen cow. COWS DON'T GET THAT BIG!
@jukka2311 Cows/horses should only carry a 1/3 of their own weight on their back. Cows, especially dwarfs/adolescents shown in the video, are not built to carry weight, they don't have the top-line horses have and their knees are too short and cannot sustain additional weight for long periods of time.
What is wrong with me? I'm just an educated person disgusted with ignorant assholes like you.
@SarGuidotti This cow is not young. It's an Irish Dexter cow which is a MINIATURE cow. It's not going to get any bigger! It's an adult miniature cow. People ride miniature horses don't they? The cow is fine. Do your research before you assume. kthnx. ;D
@ZepRidesItRight That's true, but so do older children. I'm 17, weigh 130 and I hop on our large mini once in a while, just to ride around for a few minutes to warm him up for my brother who is 10. Our mini is a large mini but still smaller than this cow. He is not super thick either, he's a show driving/riding mini from very refined bloodlines. He is perfectly fine with me on his back for a short amount of time, same thing for the cow.
@FueledByDeisel They are doing this to show how versatile the dexter cattle breed is. They most likely do not ride this cow all the time, and if they do then they probably only ride it lightly like I do with our mini. Let's not assume the worst here please.
@ZepRidesItRight Small adults can ride them too. I ride one occasionally, he is very thick and tall but still a mini, not a pony. They are fine to ride for a few minutes once in a while so long as you are not huge, it's not a mare in foal, and you can realy sit that tiny bouncy trot well. We ride ours just for fun for maybe 5-10 minutes like... once or twice a month if that. And he loves it! He doesn't have anything to do otherwise so we are giving him a job that he loves when we do ride him!
i think you missed the point that you are obviousely not an expert if you can mistake this mature mini for a calf thats too young and not qualified to really dicate what would be the appropriate and humaine amount of weight this animal can take. form this short little video the cow isnt showing signs of distress or a significant amount of difficulty to move with the girl on its back. the animal does seem bigger than most miniature horses and thus fair to speculate that the animal
can take the weight. infact there are alot of things we can speculate on. 1) the owner of this animal probably spent a lot of money to buy or breed this animal, and care for the animal.... and it may be safe to assume that most owners dont go out of their way to damage their pets. 2) the owners have experience and expertise with the breed and know, better than you, what this animal can take. 3) the animal doesnt not appear to be struggling or showing any signs of distress.
with all this said, you have little room to say anything. keep in mind, im the kind of person who would argue that riding on the back of any animal should be considered cruel, no batter how big/small or young/old it may be. the only thing i can really say about this video is that maybe there should be a saddle to make the ride a bit more confortable for both the rider and animal. but if this is just a quick test ride for a short distance, im not interested in making a stink about it.
@Bigpussycat5 You see, Bigpussy, Horses should only carry 20% or roughly 1/3 of their own body weight, this is standard and accepted by professional equestrian trainers. With that said, a cow's weakest spot, much like a horse, is their back, however, horses are stronger they have what is called a "top-line", this when developed properly, protects them (essentially). Cows do not have this. They have weaker backs, shorter legs that cannot withstand much weight.
@Bigpussycat5 The were NOT breed to be ridden like horses. They were breed to either produce copious amounts of milk or to have the biggest rib-eye steak. And as far as cruelty? Do you think most cruelty cases happen over night? Or over a long period of time? That cow will not turn up with lame tomorrow, but getting ridden like that everyday he might end up with a bad case of sway back in 5 years.
for someone who talks a good game about fallacy you sure dont know when you are making them.
"The were NOT breed to be ridden like horses." that doesnt mean they wouldnt make them good for riding, just because they were not breed for that purpose.
"That cow will not turn up with lame tomorrow, but getting ridden like that everyday he might end up with a bad case of sway back in 5 years."
basing this clame on what exactly? dont get me wrong, im not trying to say you are wrong but
you are gonna have to back up your claims with something. is there something special about a cow that makes it incapable of carrying a managable load on its back that would make it worthy of special consideration over a standard sized horse, appart from the fact you think the animal is too damn cute?
People also raise these animals for food. IMO, i would find that a bit more disturbing if i were someone who accepted the idea that an animal is too adorable to be treated in a certain manner. I would be more comfortable with owners treat these animals as pets by ride them, take care of them, and develop an emotional attachement that would make them a little more empathetic towards the animals' suffering rather than people raising the animals as livestock for food.
@Bigpussycat5 And I apologize, your stat was real. But you're using it as an excuse. ANd I never disagreed that the majority of the world is illiterate. But the way you wrote your stat is confusing. I'm a copy editor and I fix weird/confusing sentence structure all the time. If you're not careful, and since people are not in your head, they will probably read it wrong, thus taking you less seriously.
@Bigpussycat5 Bigpussy. Bigpussy. You are a lost cause. Do you understand what selective breeding is? Sure you can ride it, but it does not mean you should (for the exact same reason I mentioned above that you clearly don't understand). And I base my claims on experiences I have witnessed and read about--research. I'm not making this up, dude, Bigpussy. It's called gravity, wear and tear--the cow's anatomy--where are the weak spots...
@Bigpussycat5 Look at a cow. Look at a horse. Horses were breed to improve their conformation for riding/driving--helping them carry weight more efficiently. Cows were not. Of course, there are always exceptions. But cows are not built for riding. Look at their knees. People shun horses with knees like that, why? They're more prone to damage--they're weaker (It's called calf-kneed, look it up). If people try to breed out these traits in horses, why would the cow itself be okay to ride?
Ok, so you like research. great. you look at a horse and a cow and noticed they dont look alike. great!! we are talking about the ethics of riding a cow as suppose to a horse. I'm not talking about efficiency in the sense that maybe a horse might be a better choice for riding if efficiency is what someone is looking for. but riding a cow as a novelty. what is it about a cow that makes it MORE unethical to ride. what evidence do you have that
demonstrates that a cow should not be ridden. but cause i know for sure cows, along with horses, have been used for pulling loads. would you argue that this is also a problem too because cows are not built to efficiency pull loads? lol. hell, people ride elephants too. so would you call it inefficient to ride a elephant because they were not bred for that? also you talk about efficiency. efficient in what way? how much a horse can carry? how fast they can carry it? how long they can carry it
poor little thing!

Cows spine, pelvis and back legs are exactly the same shape, versatility and type as a horses. I go to college at an agricultural college doing an equine course and down at the farm we have a cow called Daisy that is ridden. You can walk trot canter gallop and jump cows, plus they also mature faster than horses. It's like telling people not to ride racehorses because they are young, racehorses are raced as two year olds, SURELY THATS WAY TO YOUNG AND DANGEROUS TOO!

@xXeMokiDXxMCRXx Your racehorse reference doesn't help prove your point .Two year-olds are not done growing yet. That's why there's so many OTTB's with injuries that render them practically useless, other than dog meat. I don't think anybody is refuting the fact that you can ride a cow, just that in general, most cows can't handle being ridden the way most horses are ridden. Sure, they have the same bones as a horse, but they're not put together the same. Weight is not distributed the same.

@SarGuidotti That is why you build up muscle tone s girl probably is very light. My racehorse was raced at a very young age and was raced up until he was 11. He also snapped his pelvis in half. He is recovered and is now going to start jumping again. Horses and cattle are very versatile creatures and if this cow didn't want this kid on her she would of slung her off, every cow knows how to do that as it is how to get a predator off that is going for a killing bite.

@OutdoorDreamer733 Not if they are trained properly, most horses are backed and ridden at two years old, sure of course it will damage them if they are pumped fulla steriods and raced their bollocks off, but some trainers train them correctly and it doesn't bother them.
xXeMokiDXxMCRXx 4 months ago
@xXeMokiDXxMCRXx Right- Zenyatta is a great example. Unfortunetly, most people do not like to wait, and start the horses at 1-2 years of age. Their knees are closing at this time and running them as hard as they do can, and will damage them forever. I have seen many many rescued TB.

@OutdoorDreamer733 I have an ex steeplechaser, his legs are covered with splints and he has seen a few years of abuse, but when he came to my boss it all stopped and he loved life and his racing, though now being an ex racer if the alarm goes off next door it sounds like a starting gate his head will go up ears forwards and we are OFF and I have to wait until he has decided that he has 'won the race' so I can pull him up. Mustangs, QHs, GVs, most native breeds and tbs are all backed at 2.

@jukka2311 Cows/horses should only carry a 1/3 of their own weight on their back.

@ZepRidesItRight That's true, but so do older children. I'm 17, weigh 130 and I hop on our large mini once in a while, just to ride around for a few minutes to warm him up for my brother who is 10. Our mini is a large mini but still smaller than this cow. He is not super thick either, he's a show driving/riding mini from very refined bloodlines. He is perfectly fine with me on his back for a short amount of time, same thing for the cow.
FueledByDeisel 1 year ago
@FueledByDeisel They are doing this to show how versatile the dexter cattle breed is. They most likely do not ride this cow all the time, and if they do then they probably only ride it lightly like I do with our mini. Let's not assume the worst here please.
FueledByDeisel 1 year ago
@ZepRidesItRight Small adults can ride them too. I ride one occasionally, he is very thick and tall but still a mini, not a pony. They are fine to ride for a few minutes once in a while so long as you are not huge, it's not a mare in foal, and you can realy sit that tiny bouncy trot well. We ride ours just for fun for maybe 5-10 minutes like... once or twice a month if that. And he loves it! He doesn't have anything to do otherwise so we are giving him a job that he loves when we do ride him!

i think you missed the point that you are obviousely not an expert if you can mistake this mature mini for a calf thats too young and not qualified to really dicate what would be the appropriate and humaine amount of weight this animal can take. form this short little video the cow isnt showing signs of distress or a significant amount of difficulty to move with the girl on its back. the animal does seem bigger than most miniature horses and thus fair to speculate that the animal
Bigpussycat5 10 months ago
can take the weight. infact there are alot of things we can speculate on. 1) the owner of this animal probably spent a lot of money to buy or breed this animal, and care for the animal.... and it may be safe to assume that most owners dont go out of their way to damage their pets. 2) the owners have experience and expertise with the breed and know, better than you, what this animal can take. 3) the animal doesnt not appear to be struggling or showing any signs of distress.
Bigpussycat5 10 months ago
with all this said, you have little room to say anything. keep in mind, im the kind of person who would argue that riding on the back of any animal should be considered cruel, no batter how big/small or young/old it may be. the only thing i can really say about this video is that maybe there should be a saddle to make the ride a bit more confortable for both the rider and animal. but if this is just a quick test ride for a short distance, im not interested in making a stink about it.
Bigpussycat5 10 months ago
@Bigpussycat5 You see, Bigpussy, Horses should only carry 20% or roughly 1/3 of their own body weight, this is standard and accepted by professional equestrian trainers. With that said, a cow's weakest spot, much like a horse, is their back, however, horses are stronger they have what is called a "top-line", this when developed properly, protects them (essentially). Cows do not have this. They have weaker backs, shorter legs that cannot withstand much weight.
SarGuidotti 10 months ago
@Bigpussycat5 The were NOT breed to be ridden like horses. They were breed to either produce copious amounts of milk or to have the biggest rib-eye steak. And as far as cruelty? Do you think most cruelty cases happen over night? Or over a long period of time? That cow will not turn up with lame tomorrow, but getting ridden like that everyday he might end up with a bad case of sway back in 5 years.

you are gonna have to back up your claims with something. is there something special about a cow that makes it incapable of carrying a managable load on its back that would make it worthy of special consideration over a standard sized horse, appart from the fact you think the animal is too damn cute?
Bigpussycat5 10 months ago
People also raise these animals for food. IMO, i would find that a bit more disturbing if i were someone who accepted the idea that an animal is too adorable to be treated in a certain manner. I would be more comfortable with owners treat these animals as pets by ride them, take care of them, and develop an emotional attachement that would make them a little more empathetic towards the animals' suffering rather than people raising the animals as livestock for food.

@Bigpussycat5 Bigpussy. Bigpussy. You are a lost cause. Do you understand what selective breeding is? Sure you can ride it, but it does not mean you should (for the exact same reason I mentioned above that you clearly don't understand). And I base my claims on experiences I have witnessed and read about--research. I'm not making this up, dude, Bigpussy. It's called gravity, wear and tear--the cow's anatomy--where are the weak spots...
SarGuidotti 10 months ago
@Bigpussycat5 Look at a cow. Look at a horse. Horses were breed to improve their conformation for riding/driving--helping them carry weight more efficiently. Cows were not. Of course, there are always exceptions. But cows are not built for riding. Look at their knees. People shun horses with knees like that, why? They're more prone to damage--they're weaker (It's called calf-kneed, look it up). If people try to breed out these traits in horses, why would the cow itself be okay to ride?

Ok, so you like research. great. you look at a horse and a cow and noticed they dont look alike. great!! we are talking about the ethics of riding a cow as suppose to a horse. I'm not talking about efficiency in the sense that maybe a horse might be a better choice for riding if efficiency is what someone is looking for. but riding a cow as a novelty. what is it about a cow that makes it MORE unethical to ride. what evidence do you have that
Bigpussycat5 10 months ago
demonstrates that a cow should not be ridden. but cause i know for sure cows, along with horses, have been used for pulling loads. would you argue that this is also a problem too because cows are not built to efficiency pull loads? lol. hell, people ride elephants too. so would you call it inefficient to ride a elephant because they were not bred for that? also you talk about efficiency. efficient in what way? how much a horse can carry? how fast they can carry it? how long they can carry it
