I've never really imagined myself as a midwife for cows and there's so much to remember, like all books on medical subjects, the book I read informs you of all the things that can go wrong and ended worrying me silly! It said I needed one of these incase the cow gets stuck!!!
Our first cow due started to segregate herself just as the book said so I knew we had to start keeping a close eye on her, and kept checking in on her "this is it, we're gonna have a baby" I said to Lucy!!!
I went to check on her again early morning and had to do a second take..... Lying in the field next to her was what looked like a huge cow dung and as I stood there it stood up and moved closer to her.
Amazing all that worrying and she'd had it all on her own.
The next 2 mums had theirs the same way, even though I checked them in the night I kept missing the births and upon morning there stood another life - "this calving business is a synch" I thought, that is until they started to escape!!
To be continued!!!!!
