I galloped Tia up to the barn and she slid to a stop as I hopped off. "Good girl." I told her. I cooled her off then untacked her. Then I put her tack away and let her out in the pasture. I walked back into the barn where I saw Jason bring that calf in on his horse. I walked up to him. "Hey. You checked and couldn't find a mother?" I asked him, going over to the calf.

"I found her." I said lowly. I hated thinking bout dead animals. I pulled the calf off of Tiki's witheres and ground tied him. I carried the calf to Carolyn.

"Thanks." I gave him a smile. I tried to carry her, but like all holstein calfs, she was BIG. I staggered back and ended up setting her down, still keeping a hand on her, before I would drop her.
"Hey sweetie." I soothed her. I knelt down next to her and she started sucking on my fingers. I turned to Jason.
"Did...did you find the mother?" I asked him.

"I sad yes." I said shortly then shook my head. "Sorry but she was dead." I said clenching my fists.

"I hate that." I told him. "I'm just glad you got her in time. We could've lost her soon if you didn't bring her in."

I nodded "I know. I am glad she is okay." I said shortly. "I am going to go find Kendall." I said and I went to her office and brought her with me. "Here she is."

I nodded and stood up. "Whatare you going to do with her?" I asked Kendall, hoping I would be able to get her. But there could've been a mother that had lost her calf and is still giving milk.

"Well...There is a mother that lost her calf but she is not ready for a calf the vet is keeping a eye on her... For the next few days hum okay I have a idea round up a few of your friends and you can all camp in the barn and stuff but one of you every twp hours will have to bottle feed her."

I smiled. "Thanks soooo much! But why every two hours?" I asked her. "Last time I bottle fed a calf we fed her a full bottle in the morning and night and she was fine." I said.

"Because that is what Dr. Ford had me do with our last Calf." I said. "Wait right here." I ran tpo get the bottle and formula "Okay this is a small bottle as well. A scoop each serving."
