All new moms are tired, whether they\u2019re 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\u2019s actually pretty common for new yak moms to forget about their babies, as you\u2019ll see in this video.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The baby is absolutely adorable and looks like a baby cow<\/a>. We were expecting to see a mama cow, not a yak! Sophia<\/a> jokes in the caption, “Has anyone forgotten their child? Yak cows do it on the regular!”<\/p>\n Related: New Goat Mom Forgot Where She Put Her Baby and Runs to Human Mom for Help<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Funny Reactions to the Forgetful New Mama Yak<\/p>\n 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.”<\/p>\n @harberb6 said simply, “Awww, new momma problems<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Commenters also noticed something else in the video: Mama Daisy needs a haircut<\/a>! Like @steven campbell, who joked, “Momma needs her bangs trimmed to see her baby easier! LOL!”<\/p>\n Sophia addressed it in one of the comments. “For everyone commenting on Daisy\u2019s bangs, she is what\u2019s 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<\/a>. Still, yaks have a great sense of smell, and I have never seen their hair be the source of them \u201cmisplacing\u201d their baby. It\u2019s just a fun part of raising yaks LOL!”<\/p>\n This story was originally published by PetHelpful<\/a> on Apr 2, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
