Her Calf Didn't Make It....Here's What happened!

What happens here

With the ratchet strap attached to the calf's hooves and the ATV's front rack, the farmer slowly and steadily backs up the ATV to apply consistent pressure. He emphasizes not to jerk or pull too hard, as this can break the calf's bones. The goal is to allow the cow's natural contractions, combined with gentle pulling, to facilitate the birth. He describes how the ATV's back wheels lifted off the ground due to the force required, indicating the difficulty. After several gentle pulls, the deceased calf was successfully extracted.

Goal: Safely pull the calf out using the ATV and ratchet strap.
