Wondering if any of the Winged Hussars have read the James Herriot books? I could think of nothing else during this episode. For the uninitiated, these books are a semi-autobiographical account of an English country vet in the 1930s and 40s. They are beautiful, hilarious and strangely moving. You will absolutely feel things. The audiobooks are masterpieces as well.

“Hey Destin, I got thing thing going on with a lamb, can you come help?” “Sure, I’ll grab my camera and head over!” “Oh. Well it’s giving birth…” “Got it, slow-mo camera.”

Can confirm we had no idea what we were doing

Destin, your story reminds me of the many times I had to help my dad pull calves when some of our cows had complications. Growing up in that was second nature but fast forward to when I was working on a farm while in college I had to pull a calf with a group of guys who had no idea what to do. After we pulled the calf, we all had a lot of the same emotions you and your family experienced

So Destin, about the bit at the end where you talk about a very long labour- if memory serves you once made a video about some clever lights in a hospital room- I hope this wasn’t the same time…
