Farmers

When I come out to the farm, there is always something happening!!

Tonight we came out to the farm to the news that one of the bred hiefers just had a calf! (Awww, how cute...) Unfortunately, not that much later, we found out that the cow prolapsed (which means the uterus exited the body after child birth) and so then we had to call the vet so that he could come and put it back in. The vet said that if the cow lived for 15 mins afterwards he would live. So far, so good.

Our next job was to make sure the calf sucked. The cow was kicking the calf a bit and not allowing it to suck but it seems good now.

A farmers work is never done. They are constantly doing something and they need to know so much. They need to be accountants, mechanics, mini-vets, and farmers, etc, etc, etc.

I am constantly amazed by the brillance of farmers!!
