Okay, figured it was something like that. Sorry for the one that didn't make it. :(

Is it common practice to do this to all large animals after they give birth (especially those with litters/multiples)?

I honestly don't know. I suspect it is. They keep a box of shoulder-length exam gloves and a bottle of lube around all the time though, so it certainly isn't anything unusual!

I was thinking about my grandfather, and how he was a rancher. I guess he must've done this. :( Yikes! Oh well, I understand why it's done.

I'll bet he didn't have nice disposable arm gloves, either.
