Cows CHAT to each other about food and the weather and can even express emotions, study finds

Cows have their own language and talk to each other about food and the weather, according to a new study by scientists in Australia. They created a software programme dubbed'Google Translate for cows' to get a better idea of what the heifers were saying when they go'moo'. The study, by a PhD candidate from the University of Sydney, discovered that dairy cows also respond to positive and negative emotional situations. Cows each have their own individual voice and linked their moods to their'moos', said lead author Alexandra Green. Biologists made the discovery by listening to Holstein-Fresian heifer cattle, a European breed, mooing into a microphone and analysing the pitch.
