Yellowstone‘s calf birthing scene earns a mixed review from a real-life cowboy, who points out one glaring flaw. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the hit Paramount Network series premiered in 2018 with a story that follows Kevin Costner’s John Dutton as he protects his Montana ranch from outside forces. Though Yellowstone featured some major conflicts and action sequences throughout its five-season run, it also took the time to show routine aspects of ranch life, including one moment in the season 1 premiere in which Costner’s Dutton family patriarch helps to deliver a calf during an emergency.
