Coaxing livestock
Humans have to coax their animals when the mother refuses to nurse her young. As numerous animals are raised together, sometimes mothers do not recognize their young. Interestingly, they can be coaxed by humans making these sounds. The first is the sound to coax a sheep, the second is the sound to coax a goat, and the last is the sound to coax a cow.
