The team from The University of Nottingham and Queen Mary University of London, spent ten months studying to the ways cows communicate with their young, carefully examining acoustic indicators of identity and age.
They identified two distinct maternal 'calls'. When cows were close to their calves, they communicated with them using low frequency calls. When they were separated - out of visual contact - their calls were louder and at a much higher frequency.
They had to do a study? Anyone who raises cattle already had that figured out There is one call you pay extra attention too. It's the one they make when you get between Cow and the calf and momma is gonna put a hoof up your behind.

They should also have studied cow body language. Like when the cow starts to lift it's tail. People that have been around cows know that is the time to step back! Any cow with the runs has it's own built in super soaker and it isn't pretty!
Learning "cow" isn't that difficult, though I recommend daily immersion for at least a year at different sites. Even a few weeks by an astute observer will get one by.
Understanding the body language can definitely help both the cow and the human.
I used to talk to the cows or some of them. What I like is when is one cow babysits for the others. I miss that life. Sounds like a study that if it were the U.S.A, it would be a pork belly project. Oh well, they probably enjoyed it.

Ya mean like when your Cows bust fence and get into the green wheat? Don't get anywhere near that raised tail
One could wonder, if one were so inclined, what the significance of the study.
Maybe it's a twofer.
We now know cow speak and bull speak.
Check out the book "The Tao of Cow," unbeliever.
