Hello,

today we found a lost newborn calf wandering around, looking for her mommy in the fields. She must have been 10 minutes old when we found her. She seemed to decide I was her mommy and decided to stick to me. The poor thing was so cute I would have made some room for her in the barn if it had been feasible XD

Eventually we took her to her real mom. The cowboy there was so happy to have the little darling back.

I have done my good action of the year. I guess now I can resume my business of being a grumpy dude as usual :-P

Hello Arelor!

today we found a lost newborn calf wandering around,
looking for her mommy in the fields. She must have been 10
minutes old when we found her...

10 min old and the mommy walks off? I've never seen a momma cow
leave her newborn alone; it would stick around to lick the calf
to remove the sack/membrane or to protect the little one.

Yeah, but it seems the herd moved and mommy cow walked with the herd, and little cow got lost. Mommy cow bad mommy cow.

Little cow was still learning to walk.
