As I stood feeding our Jersey calf his bottle last Thursday (2/23), I noticed that Bertha was pacing in a small area and sniffing the ground a lot. I figured she was in labor – a few days earlier than I had calculated – so after Cookie was finished his bottle I decided to watch Bertha and make my first Facebook live video. I realize not everyone is on Facebook so I wanted to share the video here, too (our farm page is public and anyone can see it). I tried to keep it from being too graphic for folks who don’t want to see too much of the birth.
Enjoy!
Very well done. The public needs to see the reality of farming. Not just Theo package in the supermarket.
I totally agree! Since I didn’t grow up in the ag community I know how little is taught about farming. I love having friends and family visit and explaining how things work. Posting online is important to me because there are so many people who don’t have access to farms. I want them to see and learn about this stuff.
