Cows seem to be getting into some trouble lately! Recently, a 1,200-pound pregnant cow was saved from drowning in a puddle. And just a little while ago, some pregnant cows were rescued after being swept away by the tide in Ireland! Now, a 3-day-old calf is making headlines in Indiana after wandering off where he wasn't supposed to.
Farmer Kevin Mahoney was keeping watch over his animals when, unbeknownst to him, the 70-pound calf slipped away from the group and through a hole in a fence. The newborn, still discovering the world, wandered over to a frozen pond, and decided to test out the surface. Unfortunately, only thin ice separated the calf from certain death. Luckily, the ice held underneath him, but he couldn't make his way to shore.
Kevin called for help when he found that his calf was stranded. He couldn't get him off the ice himself with just a short rope, but when deputies arrived, they came up with a solution. They tied several ropes together and pulled the calf toward them to safety. Kevin's wife caught the exhilarating rescue on camera!
But the little guy wasn't out of the woods yet: his temperature was very low, and he had to be rushed to the warmth of the barn — and his mom! Kevin carries the fluffy baby all the way to her, and when she sees him, you can tell that she's relieved to see her little one. The mama cow even jumps the wire fence separating them to be closer to her calf! Now, the baby is safe and has a long life ahead of him.
