THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!

In today's video I start off with some jobs with the calves and then move onto the problem of yet again not enough room in the shed. We soon get a surprise though and it was a hard earned one.

    The shaking hand made me 👍 and subscribe. Having the jitters after pulling a calf I would consider normal. Pulling a calf isn’t for the faint hearted. Mom and baby up and walking around confirms a job well done.

We all make mistakes in life, but if we learn from them we can turn a negative into a positive. Just keep doing what you are doing.

    When you are pulling a calf you need to give the calf a quarter turn once the head is out i cross the legs and whichever one is under is the way the calf will turn. This is much easier to get out and basically never hip locks, i know it sounds easy but sometimes in the excitement we forget. Best is to take it slow once the head is out and breathe twice before proceeding.
