    Your Dad would make a great vet. I like the way he help the mom he was not aggressive pooling the calf he just let the mom do all the pushing he only help a little. So so nice of hem respecting a animal :)

    Gentleman that was a master class demonstration of how to calve a cow using a calving stick,instead of the usual clowns that panic ratchet in a straight line and then wonder why they have a dead calf prolapsed cow possibly a trapped nerve and if she survives this ordeal struggles to get back in calf. Bull calves nearly always go full term .🇬🇧👍 p.s your farther gives good advice remember it well 👍

    many young ones come out of university think with big ego and looking down at jobs and hard works like this from above,i was like that too. Until i understood how toxic office and city life is. Life on farm teachs man real connection between nature and simplicity of survival.Also with its all sweat and hardness it brings special peace into soul as one doesnt have time to speculate and finaly can compare with that buzzy-ness (bizniss) out there. When listenin this father plus looking at his hands, color of his voice and sense of words...it is real treasure. This experience to start to comprehand it can be long process.
