Teenage pregnancy

Barely a foot presented through this poor 15mo heifer's pelvic canal. Same farm as the Schistosomus Reflexes calf... again in a cold yard by torch light at night. When I went back the next day, which was searingly hot, she was in a small makeshift outdoor pen with no water and no shade (it had been sunny all morning). The farmer was away for the day, so after giving her some fresh forage and 2 buckets of water (she downed the first one), I wished her and her offspring good luck!

This poor schistosome came out alive, but thankfully I had euthatal at the ready. I had thought it was twins as it was presenting with all 4 limbs, but trying to push one set back and realising they were moving together, then moving my hand back over the haired part of the body I twigged the hairline stopped and I was feeling organs. C section by torch light in a cold, dark yard and it was like something out of a horror movie.
