      So you’re more familiar with the end stage of the process.

      The moms lick them clean after birth, and if you’re expecting any animal to be clean I got bad news for ya.

      Bonus fun fact the cows tend to eat the afterbirth as well. Source grew up on a farm/ranch, if you want gross learn about prolapse. Guess who had skinny arms as a teenager and got to help keep cows alive till the vet came and had two thumbs? This guy… not sure I should be proud of what I had to do but yeah cows is expensive.
