Description: The bonding process, as the cow learns to recognize her new calf, and commits to caring for that calf, is a complex blend of hormonal- induced and learned behaviour. Mature cows that have had calves before are more apt to quickly mother their offspring than first-time heifers. The cow or heifer goes through a series of behaviours as she reacts to various sensory clues provided by the calf and the birth fluids. If she’s lying down as the calf slides out of the birth canal, she will generally raise her head and look over her shoulder to get a glimpse of the calf. “Any movement of the calf at this stage (raising its head or shaking its head) is a strong stimulus to the cow to get up and turn around to smell the calf and start licking it. Calves that shake their heads and are vigorous elicit a stronger response in the cow; they are more attractive to the cow than weak or dead calves. The smell and taste of birth fluids is another strong attractant that further drives the maternal behaviour and stimulates the cow to lick the calf. As the cow licks the calf she begins the bonding process and learns her own calf’s smell, to enable her to identify it. She generally won’t let any other calf nurse her; she first has to smell it and make sure it’s hers. This is an important part of bonding, and probably the reason that cattle instinctively seek a place to calve where bonding won’t be interrupted. Because newborn calves are soon up and walking, and can mix with other calves early in life, the cow must be able to recognize and discriminate between calves soon after birth. It was amazing to watch Mum bonding with her son as soon as he was born…such wonderful and tender moments in nature as she gently licked him clean…

Prints

Bluecanvas offers Giclee prints on Epson Premium Photo Luster, Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art, or Chromata White Canvas papers. Our paper was chosen based on the highest quality, most vivid color reproduction, and archival attributes. You may choose to order prints, with or without mounting material. We use a sturdy, lightweight 3/16" Gatorfoam material for mounting fine art prints.

Epson Premium Photo Luster is a traditional choice of photographers and artists. Like all of Epson's innovative media, this paper is engineered to give you the highest resolution and color saturation possible.

Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art is for artists and professional photographers who require true archival print media. This is an acid free, 100% cotton hot press paper that is coated on both sides for extra versatility. This fine art paper is not only acid, lignin, and chlorine free, it is also pH buffered with calcium carbonate for a true archival sheet.

Chromota White Canvas is a textured 19 mil Bright White, consistent Poly Cotton Blend Matte Canvas using an acid-free, neutral pH coating. Unlike 99.9% of available inkjet canvas products on the market today, this canvas utilizes our "Chromata White" optical brightener additive-free (i.e No OBA's are used in this product) and Fluorescent Whitening agent-free breakthrough technology.

"Chromata White" gives the end-user the most stable platform on which to print photographs and fine art giclees without the metamerism issues or color shift issues inherent on other canvases. Optical Brighteners compromise the attainment of true color, they complicate profiling accuracy, and they inevitably deteriorate and yellow over time.

Gatorfoam is an extruded polystyrene board that is bonded between two layers of Luxcell wood-fiber veneer. This makes Gatorfoam heavy duty while allowing it to be used for a huge number of applications. Gatorfoam foam board is a premier choice for mounting exhibits, graphics, signs and displays. It is light weight, strong, rigid and warp resistant.
