12 years ago, I was happy enough to be a professional engineer. At the time, I had no idea that within a few years, I would think nothing of reaching into a cow’s vagina to pull out a calf.
It’s what you do when you need to. You just do it because an animal is in distress and a life is on the line.
Since I moved my office to the farm, it’s easier to do farm stuff too as needed and then go back to designing some widget.
Is there gore? Yup, sometimes. Yesterday was one of those days. It’s rewarding seeing these little calves come a long. When you lose one, it’s heartbreaking. We’ve lost 3 this year.
