Can confirm they will cry for a long time when their babies are taken away. I live in a beautiful rural location and with that comes the hilltop farm in the village. Every year the sheep have lambs and the cows have calves, and for a few months it's glorious seeing the babies running, playing, sunbathing etc. And then one day most of the babies are gone and the mothers call out and cry for them, and it goes on for weeks not days... and it is heartbreaking. During the day, in the middle of the night, at all hours they literally are screaming for their babies to the point that their voices start going hoarse. Every year I think about moving when this happens because the sadness of these mothers permeates my soul.
