Calf Pulling With Baby S

Another child in S's daycare tested positive for covid so they shut the daycare down for a week.  I told V that I could keep Baby S today.  I picked her up and then went shopping for new shoes for her Easter outfit (and some toys, snacks and a book).  When we got to the house J said he needed to pull a calf.  One of the heifers was calving and not progressing fast enough.  I said I would bring S to the barn and help. 

I planted her on a 5 gallon bucket,

where she had a good view of the proceedings but was safe and out of the way.

J got everything ready. 

Baby S stayed on the bucket. 

J got the chains on and Baby S stayed on the bucket. 

J started pulling, Baby S on the bucket. 

The calf was coming out, 

J ended up on the ground, 

but Baby S stayed on the bucket. 

J moved the calf around so the cow could see it when she came out of the chute. 

She went right to it and started cleaning it off. 

I got Baby S off the bucket so she could see better. 

I really love this picture how she is peeking through the gate.  We were amazed that a 15 month old behaved through all of that as well as she did.
