Just caught the end of Lambing Live and for some reason they were showing the birth of a baby cow. Well I didn't know that they do caesareans for cows! Apparently it is becoming more common too, just like in humans I guess. In cows this is due to the fact that we are breeding them so that they are "meatier" i.e. bigger calves which means that the mummy cows can't give birth to them naturally as easily. Isn't that really sad?
