For some reason YouTube edited out the first 2 minutes of the baby actually being born and started after she stood up and started washing the baby.
I will try to get first couple of minutes posted.

Betty is now the matriarch of our heard. We have been watching her and waiting for her to have her baby. She is huge and the other day we were watching the baby move around and distorting her stomach area. Today Judy saw her walk away from the herd and go back to the tree line at the far end of the field. She came and got me and we went out there to see if she was having the baby. Her daughter was with her. Both of them are very friendly to us so we knew it was okay to be there. When we got there the baby?s feet and nose and tongue were sticking out. Here is a picture.

After another young cow came over to see what was happening, she ran it off then moved into the swamp area that is surrounded by thick bushes. Judy and I went in and took a complete video of the birth and the baby standing up for the first time.
I will post a link to the video as soon as YouTube approves it.
Here is a picture of the baby just as it was born.
