One Lucky Calf

One Lucky Calf:

Somethings in life are meant to be........
       Today plans fell through with planting corn so Todd and I were home this morning.  After breakfast I looked out the window and spotted a cow in labor. The cow laid down under a tree next to the creek and gave birth to a little black calf. We all watched the calf try to get up as he slid down into the creek. Jeff, Todd and I took off to save the calf out of the creek.  What a sight to see, Jeff standing thigh deep in the water keeping the screaming mother cow away, while Todd kept the calf's head out of the water. Todd and Jeff then proceeded to pick up the newborn calf out of the creek without getting killed by the mother cow and carried it to safety!

They did it!! Here is "Little Lucky"



The three of us stood and watched the mother cow and another cow clean off Little Lucky.  Little Lucky is well and walking.

Somethings in life are just meant to be........
