Carol, the dairy owner, stopped by this morning. The cow, Brando, was having problems giving birth - her uterus was twisted around the calf. The problem could be fixed by turning the calf, but which direction? There was a 50/50 chance that they would need to do a C-section on the cow and the vet had already been called. I was milking w/ Lisa, the intern, and I could tell she was antsy about seeing the operation. Finally, she looked over at me and asked if I would mind if she went to the barn to watch. What kind of ogre would I be if I said no? She took off immediately but was back in only 5 minutes. The calf had been turned successfully and they wouldn't be doing an operation. Good news for Brando. Lisa seemed a little down though.
