It's really not that easy

Doc and 'Jimmy Stewart' get unwanted advice from blowhard who doesn't understand intricacies of calving. I guess one of my favorite things about being a veterinarian is helping in the process of bringing a new critter into the world. After more than10 years and thousands of deliveries, it still has a special sentiment within me. It must be a strange thought in a little calf's mind to look up and see a big nose, mustache and glasses as the opening act to the play of life. But as with most things, Idon't get to see them unless there is a problem. It was an average afternoon when the phone rang revealing a local rancher with a heifer having trouble calving. This guy reminded me of Jimmy Stewart. He had the same sound to his voice and moved his headand neck like Mr. Stewart did. It made it a lot of from to be around him. I've been here long enough to know most of the people around who have livestock and I know how they do things. When this fellow can't get the calf out himself, this means it is going to be a doosey. And sure enough, it was.
