The New Zealand dairy farmer Neil Davy, who delivered the stillborn calf on Monday, told the website NZ Farmer that if he hadn’t been there, the mother cow would have surely died.
“It was hard going,” Davy told the website, “I was up to my elbows in lube and calf goo, sweat coming off my forehead. It’s not nice to see a cow in distress.”
Davy told the site that he’d originally thought he was delivering twins. Close enough: identical twins come from one egg that divides, and veterinarian Jonathan Spencer told NZ Farmer that Davy’s calf “[seems] like an incomplete divide of an egg.”
