The last 5 weeks we have done work with Toastmasters learning about speeches and how you stand and do the talking, and also about how you do stuff when you are in a committee meeting.
This is my last speech.
Have you ever seen a calf being born?
Or more to the point being pulled out of the cow when they have trouble being born?
This is how it goes.
Firstly you tie a special farm string around whatever is sticking out.
Hopefully is the legs because if it's the head you have to push the head back in and try to grab the legs. It's hard for the cow when the cow is trying hard to push the calf out to.
Also if the cow jumps up while you're trying to pull the calf out then you have to follow the cow around and still try to get the calf out.
Sometimes it's good because when the cow walks away it can help the calf come out.
If you have enough strength the calf will come out and be born. If the cow is standing it falls on the ground, then the cow comes and licks the calf. This is good for the calf because it cleans it and starts to warm it up.
The cow eats the after birth because it is good for the cows insides and gives her back nutrients.
My name is Quinn and I hope you now know something about how calves are born when the cow is having trouble.
