At about 9pm i went to check up on a cow that was calving. It is icey here,wind howling and they reckon it will hit -6deg tonight.Anyway i sat shivering my butt off waiting for cow's water to break. After about a half hour(which felt like 2hrs)i decided to take closer look. Oops,hooves upside down,no head. Felt around a bit-big back legs and a tail,the big pull was on.Huge relief that it was not a breach.Tugged+pulled and eventually-plop,a nice looking bull calf. Have to make sure he finds a teat now, and by making sure of that i know the chances of the afterbirth coming out cleanly are so much better. Woolies on,here i go.Brrrrr!
