Birthing and Roadside Attractions

That is something that you don't see every day.  At one time in my life, I saw that probably once a week on average.  Part of my job on the farm was watching the cows that were ready to give birth.  At first it was quite an experience to see it but after awhile it seemed old hat.  I have very few pictures of these events because it was so common. I haven't seen this happen since we discontinued the dairy.  We have beef cows but it is rare that you would happen to catch them in the act of giving birth.
I remember a few births specifically.  I remember that one time a cow went a little early and she gave birth out in the field across the street.  While we were getting her across the road and her calf, a neighbor was walking down the road.  She started to freak out that we were taking the calf away from the mother.  This woman walked by the farm a few times a week.  Did she every notice that all the calves were in separate pens away from their mothers?  I thought it was an interesting reaction.
And speaking of people not thinking, I remember one time I was in the calf pen during the winter.  I went out with an axe to break up the ice in the water tank because the heater had failed.  As I was chopping the ice, a car stopped on the road about 10 feet away from me.  I heard the man say, "Hey kids, look at the farmer lady".  It was a good thing that there were kids in the car because I was ready to throw the axe at him.  I am not a freakin' roadside attraction.  Go back to the city, you "ci'diot" (ci'diot (city idiot) is what we called the people that moved from the city to country).
