After spending a whole morning, at noon, the female yak finally began to give birth.
Peterson and Cousins rolled up their sleeves, while the Beebe brothers prepared ropes. Large-scale cattle production is prone to dystocia, such as Limousin cattle that weigh one or two tons and Simmental cattle that weigh more than one ton. Sometimes, because of calf If it is too big, the cow cannot give birth on its own and must be dragged out manually.
None of the people present had any experience with yak production, but they expected it to be like Limousin cattle at most. If the cow couldn't give birth, the cowboy would help with the birth and pull the calf out.
In addition, someone had prepared a saw. Wang Bo knew that this was the worst plan, that is, a transverse fetus occurred, which means that the calf became transverse inside the mother's body. In this case, the calf could only be abandoned and cut with a saw. Cut off and remove the body.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the mother yak gave birth smoothly. She raised her head and mooed a few times, and a calf with fine white milk hair was born.
Of course, it takes a long time for the cow to give birth, which takes nearly half an hour, but it is considered fast. Limousin cows give birth very hard.
When the calf was born, the cow immediately calmed down. She turned around and stretched out her tongue to lick the calf. The calf knelt on the ground and tried to stand up, but its limbs were still soft. After trying, it knelt down again.
Eva and her little Loli also came to watch the cow give birth. The little Loli leaned on the fence with her heels and looked in. When she saw the calf, she said in surprise: "Teacher, the cows are so small. It turns out they are so small. From now on, Can grow that big.”
Wang Bo blinked, indeed, why is this calf so small
Yaks are ferocious beasts on the plateau. Adult yaks are no smaller than Simmental cattle and can grow to more than a ton. When they are angry, they are like heavy tanks and can overturn cars and smash iron fences.
However, the size of the white yak is much smaller than that of ordinary yaks, and the calves of white yak are also smaller than ordinary calves, but this one is too small now. Wang Bo thinks that its body length is only about 40 centimeters, and it does not look like a mighty one. The majestic yak looks like a Chinese pastoral dog.
The young man and the queen also leaned on the railing and looked in. After seeing the calf, the queen looked at the young man in surprise, while the young man's face was full of doubts. Wang Bo estimated that the queen suspected that the calf was the young man's son. And the strong man is not sure...
Indeed, the calf was too small for the strong yak!
Wang Bo asked: "Have you ever seen a yak calf? Is it that big?"
Cousins said hesitantly: "I've never seen it before, but it shouldn't be so small. This is a calf. Oh my god, the white yak's calf shouldn't be so small, right?"
After all, Peterson was more experienced. He squatted there and looked at it for a while, and said doubtfully: "I said, there must be something wrong with this calf. Is it a dwarf?"
As he said that, the old cowboy began to analyze: "Let's not talk about its size. First, when it was delivered, Mr. Leonard said that they had checked that the cow was not pregnant. How did they detect it? It must only be through appearance detection. Touch their bellies more often.”
"If the calf is pregnant with a normal calf, then after five or six months, the cow can already see its body shape. So what if it is a dwarf calf? It can completely avoid people's detection."
"Also, look at the cow, it doesn't seem to be interested in the calf. I bet it has discovered that there is something wrong with its child. Survival of the fittest. I remember that yaks will naturally eliminate those with problems."
Indeed, after the mother yak licked the calf's wet body hair dry, she immediately lost interest in taking care of it. The calf looked for milk from its nape, but the mother yak did not get close to it, but moved to the side. .
Eva said hesitantly: "Let's do the math. Leonard first said that this batch of cows was shipped to New Zealand last year. In terms of time, it happened to be that this cow was just pregnant and was sent. So, would it be possible? Could it be that maritime transportation and environmental mutations caused the mutation of the calves?”
The little Loli shouted: "Stop talking about this, what's the use? Look at the calf, it wants to drink milk from its mother, but its mother ignores it. How pitiful, sister, what should I do?"
The calf knelt on the hay and looked around, its little mouth squirming slightly, looking for the cow that wanted to drink milk, but the cow didn't take the initiative to come close. The calf wanted to get close to it, but couldn't stand up yet, and huddled there helplessly. The body looks very pitiful.
Cousins went to get a bottle for feeding calves. He comforted the cow and squeezed some milk. Wang Bo looked at the mellow and snow-white yak milk, patted the little Loli's head and said, "You will also drink yak milk from now on. Be strong and strong!”
Not only little lolita, but everyone can drink it. Female yaks have a strong ability to produce milk, and normal calves can’t drink it. What’s more, this calf is still a dwarf and can’t drink much.
After milking, I found a problem. The calf's mouth was too small. This bottle was prepared for normal calves. The nipple was a bit thick. The calf could suck it in, but it was difficult to drink.
The little Loli blinked, then turned around and ran out. A few minutes later, she came back with a bottle for feeding the lamb. She raised it and said, "Uncle Cousins, hurry up, pour the milk in."
Cousins poured the milk, and Eva smiled and said, "Dale, can you go and feed the calf?"
The little Loli agreed with a crisp voice. She squatted down next to the calf and carefully touched its head. She said softly, "I'll feed you milk. Please don't bite me, okay?"
Wang Bo wanted to laugh when he saw her cautious look. The little girl turned out to be scared.
Although she was a little scared, the little Loli still raised the bottle and put the pacifier into the calf's mouth.
There was more than a kilogram of milk in the bottle, which was quite heavy. She puffed out her fat cheeks and lifted the bottle vigorously, taking care of the calf to drink milk.
The calf held its head high and swallowed hard. Its eyes could not be fully opened when it was born. It narrowed its eyes and looked at the little Lolita. It stretched out a soft front leg and put it on the little Lolita's knee, as if it was afraid that she would suddenly take it with her. Abandon yourself with the bottle.
Eva changed the angle and took a few photos. In the photos, the little loli bun was blushing and looking at the calf intently. The two little guys were leaning against each other, giving off a very warm feeling.
Although the calf was very small and only a little bit big, it had a strong appetite and was not satisfied after drinking a kilogram of milk. Moreover, it gained some strength and was able to stand up after a few attempts.
The little Loli went to find a cow to milk her, but the cow didn't buy it anymore. When she got closer, she lowered her head and hit the little Loli.
Cousins has quick eyesight and quick hands. He is also tall and strong. As soon as the cow lowers its head, he, who is familiar with its temper, immediately reached out and snatched the little Loli back.
