A new-born calf, less than 24 hours old, got separated from its mother out a Hawke Ranch near Bull River. Mckenzie and Ben Hawk were out looking for it, but the youngster was found by Kurt Swanson. It had slipped through the fence and was huddled in a ditch when found. The calf was safely delivered to the herd via side-by-side, and reunited with its mother.
