The Birth of a Baby Cow (Reality Warning)
WARNING: The following footage is of real life. If real life disturbs you, please stop watching now. At a traditional sugar shack we met a lovely couple who own an organic dairy farm just outside of Quebec City. We took the invitation to visit their farm two weeks later. It was a beautiful blue-skied sunny day; the warm welcome to the family owned farm, horse back riding and seeing a baby hedgehog made it even better. The opportunity to visit an organic dairy farm in action is such a special experience; however the most amazing thing that happened that day could not have been planned and I will remember it forever. A dairy cow was ready to give birth to a calf, and as luck would have it, she gave birth soon after we arrived. We watched this miracle of life unfold with awe. The cows have a name which is given alphanumerically and I was given the honour to name the 19th cow. So, welcome to the world, Sydney – born on the 1st of May 2011. www.adrianpower.com

I’ve really got no idea why some people would find this disturbing.

I’ve never really seen a cow successfully give birth before, but I do remember one time one of our cows we had when I was little gave birth to a stillborn calf. She walked around with her for 2 days. Was really sad. 🙁

Yep. That’s how it would happen in nature. The cow would call a human to help pull and help the calf stand up. So very natural.

A cow’s love for the calf is the purest.. Immediately after the birth, the cow licks all the dirt from the calf’s body and comforts it. No other mother would ever do that. And the sick humans separate the calf from the mother on the very first or second day so that the humans can drink the cow’s milk which is meant for the calf and enjoy veal. Go Vegan!

thanks mate, I totally agree, it’s truly sad how a big part of society these days has no real connection to where their food comes from.

Love the warning in the beginning. Being a farmer myself, it’s so foreign to me that people are disturbed by real life! I’ve witnessed births like this since I was a little kid and assisted in several calvings and kiddings. When I was in middle school, we had to take a mandatory sex education class, and it amazed me that my classmates knew nothing about where babies come from and how they got there.
