One of Those Years

High drama on the farm again today. Princess had a big, sturdy bull calf. When Dan & G went to check on them after dinner, to their dismay they discovered that she was still in labor. Unlike a lot of other mammals, twins in cows is not good news. The even worse news was that the second calf was breech, or coming out backwards. For the second time in three days, Dan had to pull a calf. There was no resuscitating it, as it had most likely been dead for a while. Unlike Bella, Princess hopped right back up and she and the calf seem to be doing well.
