First new BABY calf 2025!! Now what!!

What happens here

The farmer proceeds to walk down a 'cow trail' through a wooded area, noting the presence of springs and a rocky terrain partially covered with snow. He spots Donny the bull and cow '25' near the area, who appear to be guarding something. He points to where he believes the calf is, acknowledging that the mother cow 'Mona' (though later corrected to 13.5) has likely just given birth. He expresses surprise that the calving occurred in the woods, as it's the first time he's witnessed such an event on his farm.

Goal: The farmer walks down a rugged cow trail into a wooded valley, carefully approaching the area where the other cows were looking, where he soon spots the new mother and bull.
