The last of the cows, Trudy, had her calf a few days ago. She was showing all the signs of being in labor, but the delivery was taking too long. Neighbor came over to help and attached a chain around the exposed hooves of the calf while Guv'nor fed Trudy from the front end. Then they both pulled the calf out. Mother and baby were fine after that.
Adorable calf! We've had to do that before. Also had one have a uterine prolapse. Poor thing. Love to see new calves in the fields!
