Chapter 56 Summary

Dr. Farnon has it out with him, and the butcher becomes greatly offended. Herriot becomes aware that everywhere he goes, the butcher seems to be there too, staring at him.

Finally, Herriot gets a call at 3 a.m. to assist one of the butcher's cows with a difficult delivery. The cow is having twins, and they are twisted around one another.
