“…The overall time spent in locomotion decreased with increasing age, as also shown by Wood-Gush et al (1984) and Sato & Kuroda (1993). The overall time spent resting decreased slightly as the calves grew older, as also shown by Sato & Kuroda (1993) and Bøe & Havrevoll (1993).…”

“…In cattle, Wood-Gush et al (1984) found that calves tended to interact with each other from an early age, and this interaction increased over time. The large amount of time spent with siblings has been noted in both sheep and Ewe and lamb contact at lambing cattle with twins in both species staying together when grazing or resting (Ewbank, 1967;Shillito-Walser et al, 1981).…”

“…Difference between the sheep used in this study, and the cattle studied by Swain and Bishop-Hurley (2007) may represent the difference between these two species in their spatial association with their offspring; sheep are considered 'followers' where the newborn follows the mother closely as she grazes (Alexander, 1988), while cattle can be either 'hiders' or 'followers' depending upon the interaction of innate and environmental traits (Wood-Gush et al, 1984;Lidfors and Jensen, 1988). While some differences in the transmission and receiving ability of the contact loggers were expected due the different body sizes of the species studied this would not account for the substantial differences between the studies.…”

“…Kalveren hebben al vanaf de eerste levensweek behoefte aan sociaal contact met soortgenoten (Wood-Gush et al, 1984), waarbij de motivatie groter is om volledig fysiek contact te hebben vergeleken met alleen hoofdcontact via een metalen hek (Holm et al, 2002). Op een leeftijd van 3 weken zijn kalveren gedurende de meeste tijd, in het bijzonder tussen de 11e en 40e levensdag, in de nabijheid van leeftijdsgenoten (Sato et al, 1987).…”
