Jim Miles Story Imagine a man standing behind a heifer,

who was having a calf, for about 10 min holding onto the calf until it fell out of the mother.

Wouldn’t your arms get tired?

Rorvig Ranch story… Often cows have twins and only except

one. If there is a mother who lost her calf some ranchers skin the dead calf and put the hide on the orphan twin so the mother who lost her calf will except the orphan.

Mark Becker story… Can you imagine being inside your

mother all warm and cozy, then being dropped onto a snow covered hard, ground and it being sub zero degrees outside?
