One of my favorite TV shows is The Incredible Dr Pol and I always get the impression watching him that one of the most satisfying things for him is to pull a live calf. Although in his case by the time he is called out to the farm the Mama cow is in dire need of assistance. Always love to see the maternal instinct kick in and they know exactly what to do!

The little baby cows that kept peeking through the gate were so cute! Edit: I think all baby animals are cute though

Reminds me of my Uncle Don. He took some vet classes so he always was helping the calves come if the mamas needed help.

You’re a good farmer momma! I watched others that pull the calf with a vehicle of some type! Your cow completely trusts you🥰 Such a sweet moment for you!

Sounds like how human road and railways, truckies etc men delivered babies out in remote rural Australia when there was no way to get mum to hospital and no other women around to help because males outnumbered women in the bush. The men did a great job. They got very good at it. Especially the moral support they gave the woman. Even if they were a bit rough and yelled out comments like "Quick, grab the shovel mate... Scoop bub up before it hits the ground and cracks its skull..." They weren't at all scared of delivering a baby....Just all part of everyday work digging ditches, fixing roads etc.

My dad, (who was my step dad, btw) taught me how to see things through spiritual eyes through the eyes of a farmer. My biological dad, (who was my knight in shining armor) would not have been able to do that. (funny thing now, my step dad and I are cousins). I was about 11y/o, and one evening after they had just got done milkin' cows. Sun was just beginning to fall asleep. We stood there watching the shadows approach the corn growing in the field. And I heard an odd sound. I looked up at my step dad's face and watched a tear stream down his face. And I asked why he was cryin'. He just said, "You work so hard to get the crop in and you wait and wait...Then you finally see evidence of your labor like that." The promises of God are yes and amen. If I had it to do all over again. I'd buy my own farm and be the farmer. I miss the farm life. I miss my old garden. I can at least buy produce from the farm store and can it still. If offered a farm life, I'd take it in a heart beat.

@Rollag Ranches... Don't give up on Twin heifer immediately!! I raised Pinzguaer crossed cattle for years and had 4 sets of twins within four yrs from all different cows and the two Bull /heifer pairs, both heifers were fine, not freemartin. I raised calves from both of them! Other two sets were same sex pairs, one bulls, other heifers! Maybe it's a breed characteristic. Pinzguaer tend to twin a lot. Some crossed with Simmental and original bull in commercial herd was 7/8 Pinzguaer 1/8 Ayrshire.. So his heifers had a lot of milk! He was an amazing bull!

I was catching the school bus home in the country as a school girl when, much to my shock, a cow gave birth in the nearby paddock before my very eyes... She then casually got up and took a drink in the dam and had a few bites of grass. Then went to see to junior, to lick him, greet him etc. But hr was already up and moving and the ying to get to his milk source as she tried to teach him a few manners, like "say please" and "thank you, mum". It is amazing how fast and easily the birth happens and how fast they both recover from such a natural trauma. But it's good to have humans to help if complications arise.

I had two kids, the birthing pain is different than if you for example hurt yourself so bad that tears comes out. Usually there’s no tears of pain, only tears of happiness right after, and women do it again! If the birthing pain was like breaking a leg or someone drilling your root canals then I would consider. It’s just like a huge muscle cramp that increases aching that’s why you just want the baby out, and that aching is so bad that the final thing, when the baby does come out, doesn’t even hurt as much. It’s amazingly made.

A "pigeon pair". Congratulations! Good job!
