Good Morning Farming! How many new BABIES?

What happens here

The farmer observes the cows grazing, noting that a young steer appears to have a coarse, woolly coat, indicating it might need deworming. He explains the importance of observing animal health and the challenges of managing large numbers of livestock. He also spots a muddy-nosed cow and a calf that keeps jumping the fence, which will receive an 'educational' zap from the electric fence.

Goal: Monitor individual cow health and manage challenging behaviors.
