Yeah, the travils of bovine assisted birth in that book are really good for wiping away any illusions you may have about the romance of the farmer's life!

Personally, I was thinking of the TV series, which never shied away from the, ah, messier aspects of the job. In living colour no less.

Me too. I remember more than one occasion (maybe incorrectly...it's been a long time) of Harriot "shoulder deep" in an assisted birth. Does that count as method acting?
And now I can't get the theme song out of my head.

Multiple occasions, yes. But I can’t say for sure if it was a real cow or a realistic prop - we only saw the back end of the cows in those scenes, and they were all pretty dimly lit, so it’s possible that the prop department had just made something that could pass for the real thing without requiring the actor to shove his arm up inside an actual cow.

If a combat veteran like Bubbles is disgusted while Hannelore is unaffected then she’s truly come a long way. I hope she at least wore gloves because regardless of how gory it is the real danger is cross contamination.

Eh, I definitely know vets who have shrugged off dead bodies (human and animal), falling into sewage, vomit, and the like-but who cringe at saliva, mould, and various other grossness. I mean, she's come a long way for sure, but combat vets are just people.

Reading the first half of this, following the All Creatures Great and Small discussion above, I initially parsed "vets" as "veterinarians", and it wasn't until I got to "combat vets" that I realised you meant "veterans". Then I had to go back and read it again and it did make a little more sense that way :)
