LISA: Hello! ISAIAH: How's it going? 1119 00:43:39,283 --> 00:43:40,950 DR. LISA: Good, how are you? ISAIAH: Good. 1120 00:43:40,952 --> 00:43:42,752 She's a pretty good dog. 1121 00:43:42,754 --> 00:43:45,488 So, I've got two of these cows out here. 1122 00:43:45,490 --> 00:43:46,756 DR. LISA: How are we gonna catch them? 1123 00:43:46,758 --> 00:43:47,757 ISAIAH: I've got a chute out there, they're already... 1124 00:43:47,759 --> 00:43:48,825 DR. LISA: Oh, perfect. 1125 00:43:48,827 --> 00:43:50,426 NARRATOR: These girls... (moo) 1126 00:43:50,428 --> 00:43:53,429 are ready to take a walk on the wild side. 1127 00:43:53,431 --> 00:43:54,697 DR. LISA: Which isn't surprising, 1128 00:43:54,699 --> 00:43:57,566 a lot of beef cows are a little bit hard to work with sometimes. 1129 00:43:57,568 --> 00:44:01,104 (mooing) 1130 00:44:01,106 --> 00:44:02,571 That was unexpected! 1131 00:44:02,573 --> 00:44:03,439 ISAIAH: We've dealt with it before, 1132 00:44:03,441 --> 00:44:04,774 and it usually doesn't end well. 1133 00:44:04,776 --> 00:44:05,708 DR. LISA: Once they're all riled up, 1134 00:44:05,710 --> 00:44:08,511 it tends to kind of be a losing battle, but. 1135 00:44:08,513 --> 00:44:11,447 ISAIAH: I just decided that we better just back off. 1136 00:44:11,449 --> 00:44:12,582 It is what it is. 1137 00:44:12,584 --> 00:44:14,316 I'll probably have Dr. Lisa back out 1138 00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:16,786 and have her check them again. 1139 00:44:16,788 --> 00:44:18,655 DR. LISA: Yeah! 1140 00:44:18,657 --> 00:44:21,323 I think we're gonna call it a day. 1141 00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:22,458 (mooing) 1142 00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:23,526 Captioned by Side Door Media Services
