Cow eating placenta, shortly after giving birth. Why do they do this? Many other mammals do as well. It’s called placentophagy.
It’s becoming vogue for people to eat placenta. There are purported health benefits. Have you heard of this?
Here is a funny video of Joel Stein, my favorite writer for Time, watching his wife’s placenta being prepared for consumption.

It’s interesting how different your cows look to the ones we have here. I’ve never seen a cow that reddish shade of brown. Different breeds I guess.
Maybe I’ll take my camera next time I go to the park and get some pics. The cattle there (mainly for the tourists I suppose) are certainly very handsome animals.
Yes, would love to see pics. You have a good eye for shades of cattle. Our cattle are different because our base herd was Shorthorn and Lincoln Red. Lincoln Red are especially dark red. We’ve been using Red Angus for ten years, but our cattle are still a darker shade of red than most Red Angus.
