"Have patience" declares Dale everyday as we work on the farm. One time we had a calf stuck, and we had to get it up and pull it out. It was on Christmas morning and we had to do it before we started Christmas. I did not have much experience pulling calves but I had to assist anyway. I had no idea that pulling a calf would be so difficult. One time before Christmas morning we were out checking the cows when suddenly we spotted a cow that was having trouble trying to have a calf.
