An Act Of Kindness

Jacqueline a farmer and beekeeper of a tiny village of Washington state said that on this particular morning they went up to check on the newborn calf.  Mama was waiting by the fence for us and she immediately walked off mooing.  Normally that would make the calf stick his head up from the hiding place she'd left him in but no head appeared.  So Joseph, our friend Rick and I all started walking the grid. The guys did inside the fence, I went outside into the hay field.  A calf lies flat to the ground and you could be six feet away and easily miss seeing him nestled behind some tufts of grass.  Really.  Yes, we did find him and reunited mama and baby boy.  Listen to the incredibly grateful thank-you moo she gives us once they're back together.
