University answers query on cow birth timing and labor
The university said a Jan 4 birth is unlikely to have survived if tied to May 7 insemination. The cow likely bred earlier, with no memory by the Wards. Labor may not have started fully in the first birth, suggesting the younger fetus would have been expelled then. The Wards helped during the first half, possibly shortening labor and preventing the second fetus’ expulsion.
