YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As part of a research study with Olds College, two Alberta farming families are massaging their newborn calves for one minute. The technique is called "tactile stimulation" and it's being applied as a way to get the animals used to humans. It's thought this can reduce their stress, improve their health and, ideally, their profitability down the road.
