Our first calf is born....and its its not good

What happens here

The farmer concludes by expressing the difficulty of the situation, noting that 'excitement turns to such a letdown'. He wishes he could make the calf move. He plans to make phone calls to find a baby calf to give to the grieving mother. He highlights that farming often involves life and death struggles for both farmers and animals, and that viewers can support his channel by liking the video, which helps share rural content with a wider audience, including children, to educate them about the realities of farm life.

Goal: The farmer reiterates the challenging nature of farming, where life and death are common, and encourages viewers to engage with his content to help share these rural realities with those unfamiliar with farm life.

the farm it didn't happen the way we wanted it to happen thought I'd give you guys a quick update yeah yeah gotta make some phone calls so I'm gonna have to get off this livestream I don't know I don't know what happened I don't know I wanted to come over here and help her but I don't think I could have helped her don't think that there's anything I could have done so in a situation like this going to get a vet isn't gonna do me any good it's really not this it's just it's just what's happening so she struggled all day long to have her baby and then this that's a bummer that's a bummer and that also means something about the cow I mean there there's something to do with the cow also too so she was probably not a good mom or it had this trouble before and that's why she was at the barn at the sale barn so guys that's it that's what's going on hit the like button that helps to stimulate the channel even though this is a bad thing found that like button it helps to stimulate and get rural content out to to people who don't live on farms and people that don't see this stuff I think it's good this is a valuable lesson for children to know that you know farming is oftentimes life and death whether it's the life and death of the farmer or whether it's a life and death of of animals like this so just part of it got to suck it up pull up our big girl shoes pull it for big girl pants and keep on trucking man so what we got to do I'm gonna get off here I'm gonna go make some phone calls and see if I can find a way to make this a positive so we can get a baby calf and get it in here with her I'll be fooling with this until probably 10 or 11 o'clock tonight all right maybe later we'll talk to you guys later thanks a lot for joining me here on the Stoney Ridge farm channel today that's what's going on that's what happened sometimes been on a farm sometimes farm ins failing
