There is always something going on around here, at the moment it's calving time!
The cows have to be checked regularly throughout the day to make sure there are no complications....
If a cow calves on her own that's just great but often there has to be human intervention, maybe the calf has a leg back or is coming totally backwards, (that's a dangerous situation and has to be dealt with quickly or the calf will die).
Most times everything goes along fine and everyone is happy!!!!!
I grew up on a farm in Ohio and I remember my dad whipping off his shirt to tie around the calf and PULL!! Calves are just too cute!
