Family in Kentucky Shelters Struggling Calf Born Amid Extreme Cold Temperatures

The Sorrell family rescued a newborn calf from single-digit temperatures, warming and feeding her indoors before reuniting her with her mother the next day.

  • Macey and Tanner Sorrell brought a newborn calf named Sally indoors hours later to protect her from frigid temperatures, the Associated Press reported.
  • After a previous calf loss to frostbite, the family moved quickly when Tanner Sorrell found the newborn outside with ice and afterbirth, prompting urgent indoor care.
  • Macey Sorrell wiped off afterbirth, used a blow dryer to warm and fluff the calf, and hours later the fed, fluffed calf took a spot on the couch and cuddled with the family's two children.
  • After temperatures warmed, the family returned Sally, the calf, outdoors and reunited her with Sally's mother, while photos posted by Macey Sorrell drew comments from social media viewers.
  • The family keeps about three dozen cows and say bringing animals indoors when necessary is part of routine farm care, while social media reaction highlights small-farm animal-care practices.
