A New Baby Arrives at the Farm

I pulled a calf out of a cow! She's the baby on the left.

It's the season. Our pasture is becoming populated with tiny calves and they usually sort of just pop out in the night on their own. Well, with some work by the mothers. BUT--

Wednesday morning, one young heifer--first time mother-to-be--had a little foot appearing and reappearing out of her backside for a few hours. No Progress. Eventually, Gideon was able to coerce her into a sheltered space with some hay underfoot, and he wrestled the chains onto the appearing and reappearing feet, and...

we pulled.  Lots of pulling. And we pulled a big, white baby out!

It was awesome.
