Breech. Oh, Charlotte! (who is visiting our pasture.)
But hooves are pointing toward the sky, which means it may be OK.
Then she let out a big MOO! and all these neighbor cow mamas came to cheer her on. It was rather amazing! They "Moo'd" encouragement to Charlotte.
This is Sarah. She is Charlotte's "mama." She ripped off her shirt to wipe the mucus from the baby's nose and mouth.
Cleaning the baby. (I am glad humans don't have to do this licking thing)
Sarah encouraging the calf to stand.
Look at that face! She seems to be thinking, "WTF"
More trying to stand. This took about an hour.
Finally up!
Looking for the goodies.
These girls stayed here for the entire hour. and when the calf finally found the milk, the went back to their cow-y business.
