Question

I have long been a fan of the books and the series but as I watch the marvelous actors in each episode I have to wonder: how real are the situations. What I mean is that throughout the series you see calfs being born and animals getting stitched up and I wonder if the actors were just acting or did they have to actually do anything with the animals for real. I can't think of many actors that would be that dedicated, that's all. Does anyone know?
