All new moms are tired, whether they’re human or animal. Taking care of a brand-new baby is exhausting, and sometimes that means a few forgetful moments, like briefly forgetting you even have one! Firebird Farms in Eden, Oregon, raises yaks, and farmer Sophia Weiss says it’s actually pretty common for new yak moms to forget about their babies, as you’ll see in this video.

Watch as Sophia pulls up to the middle of a pasture and finds a brand new baby lying all by himself. His mom, Daisy, is nowhere to be found! When Daisy finally comes back for her child, Sophia’s scolding is just too cute.

The baby is absolutely adorable and looks like a baby cow. We were expecting to see a mama cow, not a yak! Sophia jokes in the caption, “Has anyone forgotten their child? Yak cows do it on the regular!”

Funny Reactions to the Forgetful New Mama Yak

Viewers left hundreds of comments about the new mama yak forgetting her baby, many of whom were moms who could relate and had “forgotten” their kids, too. @Leisa Castle shared, “I’ve done that. Got off work, driving home, mind going everywhere, not sure how I drove home, don’t remember the trip. Got one block from the house and realized I forgot to go to the babysitter and get my kid. Had to turn around and go back. Lol! Only happened once, though.”

@harberb6 said simply, “Awww, new momma problems.”

Commenters also noticed something else in the video: Mama Daisy needs a haircut! Like @steven campbell, who joked, “Momma needs her bangs trimmed to see her baby easier! LOL!”

Sophia addressed it in one of the comments. “For everyone commenting on Daisy’s bangs, she is what’s called a ‘super woolly’ yak. Not all yaks have this much hair on their face. And yes, she is due for a bangs trim. She had her calf before we did her spa day. Still, yaks have a great sense of smell, and I have never seen their hair be the source of them “misplacing” their baby. It’s just a fun part of raising yaks LOL!”
