What’s been circulating in the news about a livestreamed at-home C-section performed with dull instruments on a goat without any form of pain control is not “farm life,” it’s not “doing what you have to do,” and it is absolutely not acceptable animal care.

There is NEVER a situation where it is okay to cut into a living animal without proper anesthesia by a trained proffesional. Our animals rely on us to take care of them, and that includes making humane, ethical decisions, especially in emergencies.

If a situation is truly that dire and a veterinary visit is not possible, the only humane option is a terminal C-section, meaning the animal is humanely euthanized FIRST, and then the kids are removed. Anything else is unimaginable torture.

The owner of the Farm Show’s popular goat snuggling station is facing felony animal cruelty charges after he performed an at-home C-section on a goat who died.

Spring is in the air? 🤔😂
Our first batch of tiny peepers (Courtnix quail) are starting to hatch. Its almost as adictive to watch as puppies.

I find it so fascinating that this little bit of paradise is quite often sunny while the rest the county is buried in fog. It feels like were in heaven, or living on top the clouds.

Goals 🤣

So I roll into this farm in North Dakota to deliver a grain bagger. Place is massive. Roads everywhere. Houses, barns, shops... basically a whole city but with tractors instead of traffic lights. I call the farmer and say, “Hey, I’m at your main entrance but I got no idea where the hell to go.”

Farmer goes, “Oh crap, you’re here already. I’m busy, so I’ll send my dog.”

Me: “...your dog??”
Farmer: “Yes sir. He’ll bring you right to the shop.”

Couple minutes later this dog comes flying out of nowhere, pulls up to my driver’s side door barking his head off. I roll the window down like, “Alright Lassie, what is it? Timmy in the well again?” Dog barks once, turns, and bolts down the road. Every hundred feet he looks back, barks, then keeps going.

So now I’m in a semi truck following a farm dog through a maze of barns and dirt roads like it’s the world’s most redneck GPS. Left turn. Right turn. Zigzag through a field. At this point I’m wondering if he actually knows where we’re going or if I’m about to end up abandoned in some cornfield with Scooby Doo laughing his ass off.

Sure enough, boom... there’s the farmer with his tractor. Dog trots over like, “Mission complete.” Farmer hands me a dog treat and says, “Give that to him. Thank him for bringing you.”

Apparently this happens all the time. Guy just sends his dog to fetch truckers and lead them to whichever shop he wants.

Best damn day of my week. Also... if your farm dog isn’t trained to guide semis like a four-legged Uber driver, are you even farming?
