Farmers Chris and Julie Ellis had a cow called Tina that was struggling to give birth.
After having a feel around, Matt expressed his concerns that he wasn't sure if the calf was the right way around.
He gave her an injection to open up her cervix and gave her an epidural to help with the process.
As Matt was feeling inside the cow he realised that her uterus had ripped and decided that a C-section was the best option.

While many took to Twitter to share their worry, others pointed out how underweight Tina was.
One questioned on the social media platform: ";Is that cow supposed to be that thin with all its ribs and spine showing?"
While another replied to their tweet with: "So pleased to see you noticed too, just heartbreaking. You could see every bone in its poor body."
A third added: "The Cow looked seriously underweight, heartbreaking to see an animal look so emaciated.

Luckily they managed to get the calf out and stitched Tina's uterus up.
