00:00We put them under the bridge to keep them in the high point. They were in about that
00:08much water, standing in water, and it was still rising. Okay, we found the little boy
00:15calf. We thought we'd lost one in the water. We thought he might have drowned,
00:19but apparently he's there. She had twins in the water, in the mud.
00:23That's why they're both here. How awesome. These little calves here, they got out onto
00:29the highway. After the flood water receded, we went up and we brought them back and gave
00:34them a feed. They'd been without a feed for two days, so they're very happy.
00:38It's the worst we've ever seen. It's the worst everybody's seen around this area.
00:42It is exhausting, but I've also got chronic fatigue, and this is after COVID. If we keep
00:49thinking about all the bad things that are happening, we don't see the good things.
00:52I'm just so glad we found the little boy today. That is awesome, and it just gives
00:56that little spark of extra energy to keep going.
