Hannah and I are on a hunt to see a cow give birth and since I am visiting Hannah on her kibbutz for Devora's birthday and our non-thanksgiving, we made a trip tonight to the refet (cow barn). There were two cows born earlier today (birthday twins for Devora) but none while we watched.
Overheard (exclusively from Hannah's mouth) at the refet...
1) Come on ladies, dilate those cervixes!
2) You are so lucky and you don't even have a clue that you are an Israeli cow.
3) (to a calf) You are a cutie! I can't tell if you are a boy cow or girl cow with the way that you are sitting in there. Don't worry, I won't eat you. If you are a girl cow, I might drink your milk and if you are a boy cow, I won't eat you, but I might eat your cousin.
We'll try again for a birth tomorrow night with Devora.
