English
Preg Test Day
Heidi Redl and her husband Tom run a family ranch near Williams Lake in the heart of rural BC. One of the most important days of the year is "preg test" day. That's when the vet comes and tells them how many of their cows will produce a calf. It's crucial day for the survival of the ranch, but for the cows it's life or death. If a cow is pregnant she's kept and fed over the winter. If she isn't she's sold for hamburger.
