In my ute on the milk farm I probably delivered well over 3 thousand calves. We milked 600 and had another 300 in heifers. steers etc. Believe it or not you can get used to it.

Hey, another cow person... (I used to be the general manager of a 4 State DHIA.) Got to know lots of dairy farms up close and personal... LOL
Ooops, for the others DHIA = Dairy Herd Improvement Association.
I have had my milk testers turn in laptops with all kinds of stories of how .... Well, you can imagine...
Welcome aboard the thread... Look forward to hearing lots more from you. Don’t hesitate to jump in...

Maybe I could get used to it, but hopefully, I never will have to. As hubby is approaching 81, I hope his calf birthing days are over. Right now, my dirty chore is helping to repair a hydraulic hose that is leaking. That I don't mind too much, as there is no danger of the tractor dying which is what always bothered me with animals and I can wash off grease. Gotta get out there now and hold that wrench or whatever.
