Will’s first calving. Many more to come! 

Willy the poo!

@@JDPas Will.I.Am gonna pull this calf out!

@@wolfform yes he did . It's good to see a young man dive right in and not be afraid to get his hands dirty. 🤠

When I was younger my parents owned a lifestock import/export company with around 25 long haul (😀 Europe and Turkey) reefer and lifestock trucks. If I tell youngsters what I had to do at home they pull up their noses like I still smell

Esperance Western Australia. Howdy!

@@EnochtheCowVet very nice, I'm a veterinarian student too, I follow you with love, I wish we could work together

I almost want to say that the calf got hung on its way out. Normally the legs proceed the nose, from the looks of this, one leg held back, the head came through and the calf strangled. The calf's head also looks a bit swollen, another sign of a hung calf. It could've been a long labor, it couldve been just long enough for the calf to strangle. (This is all just observational theory, of course. I hope Enoch answers this question!)

@@wolfform Any of your scenarios could've resulted in my conclusion. It may have been a heifer, but regardless, it took to long to get the calf out.

They don’t… I just have about 50,000 to look after!

Yes, the calf had an abnormal presentation, resulting in its untimely demise in the middle of the night. We were called out to help, much like millions of women are helped during childbirth. She is a heifer, and heifers are more prone to dystopia (calving problems). They are watched closely, but sometimes some don’t go as planned.
