The cow’s milk started to decrease, so the farmer observed her leaving for the forest each evening. He decided to follow her.

In the scenic countryside of Scotland, a farmer named Mark looked after a modest herd of dairy cows. One day, he observed that Bella, usually the highest milk producer, had stopped giving milk entirely. Concerned, Mark consulted the vet, who confirmed the cow was in good health. Determined to find the cause, Mark decided to watch Bella more closely as she grazed near the forest’s edge.

Mark soon noticed that Bella often wandered into the woods during the evening. Intrigued, he chose to follow her discreetly. Each time he led his cows to pasture in a nearby clearing, he observed Bella lagging behind. Curious, Mark decided to trail her one evening, moving quietly to avoid alarming her. Eventually, he reached a secluded clearing encircled by trees. There, Bella was hiding something just out of sight.

As Mark drew nearer, he discovered a small calf. It seemed that Bella had brought the calf to the clearing a few weeks earlier, possibly to keep it hidden. It took Mark about ten minutes to piece together the situation. On his farm, every calf was typically separated from its mother and raised independently before being integrated into a new herd.

Speaking to reporters, Mark explained that Bella appeared discontent with this practice. As a result, he decided to leave the calf with Bella and began to rethink his approach to farm management.
