We heard a commotion last night and expected a new calf this morning which we duly found. Unfortunately a second cow was also trying to push out a huge "Breech" bull calf that had died inside her a few days earlier, Some of the images are a bit graphic but this is true life in farming. Wherever you have livestock, you occasionally get deadstock. The calf could have been a victim of a kick or butt, or was simply too big and facing the wrong way failed to engage the birth canal properly, whatever killed it his mother showed no obvious signs of distress or labour and by the time we realised there was a problem it was too late for the calf. My recent surgery  meant that I could not extract the calf so we called in Nick from Tyndale veterinary practice (Abbi's boss) she is one of the practice receptionists and general staff. Nick invited Abbi to help and as usual she was happy to raise to the challenge of hands on animal care. I have had to cut a lot of Abbi's involvement because my camera kept misting up.
The dead calf was collected and removed on the same day by the Berkeley hunt kennels who will dispose of it for us.... An essential and important service we would lose if the fox hounds were lost.
