The Birth of a Baby Cow (Reality Warning)

WARNING: The following footage is of real life. If real life disturbs you, please stop watching now. At a traditional sugar shack we met a lovely couple who own an organic dairy farm just outside of Quebec City. We took the invitation to visit their farm two weeks later. It was a beautiful blue-skied sunny day; the warm welcome to the family owned farm, horse back riding and seeing a baby hedgehog made it even better. The opportunity to visit an organic dairy farm in action is such a special experience; however the most amazing thing that happened that day could not have been planned and I will remember it forever. A dairy cow was ready to give birth to a calf, and as luck would have it, she gave birth soon after we arrived. We watched this miracle of life unfold with awe. The cows have a name which is given alphanumerically and I was given the honour to name the 19th cow. So, welcome to the world, Sydney – born on the 1st of May 2011. www.adrianpower.com
