I'm afraid the worst has happened...who's to blame?

What happens here

The farmer launches his drone to perform an aerial survey of the large pasture and the adjacent wooded areas, particularly focusing on pine thickets where a calf might hide. He comments on the vastness of the area (22 acres) and his earlier concerns about moving young mothers into such a large space. While scanning, the drone spots a deer bedded down, illustrating the challenge of distinguishing animals in the natural landscape. Despite a thorough aerial scan of multiple sections, no black spots resembling the calf are identified.

Goal: The farmer deploys a drone to survey the extensive pasture and surrounding woodlands for any sign of the missing calf, emphasizing the difficulty of spotting small animals from above in dense areas.

so here's the scenario guys if you're new to the farm Channel if you're new to the farm this is exactly the way things go in the winter time we unroll hay to our cows we unroll hay on various paddocks a paddock is just a section of land the cows are on about seven acres right here okay so this is a larger Paddock than we normally do normally our paddocks are about a 1 acre size that being said I put the cows out on a much larger 22 acre section about 2 days ago we've been slowly moving across the farm because we're all out of hay on the other side of the farm currently we have seven calves on the ground actually eight calves on the ground so it's calving season and this is Mom who's stressed out right here so this is number 2011 and you can see her milk sack is swollen just a little bit she's probably going to go to the fence here and call to her calf yep exactly exactly what's going on so this is pretty common for a cow that has lost her calf and we have only lost two caves in the whole time that we've had the farm here and we're on our third or fourth year of cing she's very upset you can see her mannerisms she's just looking out over the hill looking for her baby and she's again very upset she's on guard you can see like very distrusting of me distrusting of everything and what had happened here was when we moved across I took a headcount of all the calvs that needed to move across with their moms she's really upset so we moved across the road right here we'll just take you down there to the road section we had to cross a public roadway we just built this new crossing cattle crossing and showed you guys how it was all built so we came across the road into the new section of pasture over here and she hid her baby some time within that period of time I did a headcount she hid her baby and her baby will not come out I can't find it I can't get it to come out I have ridden all over and walked all over and we're actually going to take the Drone and we're going to fly it up in the air here in just a minute and we're going to fly over everything because a drone is pretty much an indispensable piece of equipment to have on your farm especially when you're in a situation like this so they came across from that pasture right across through here and somehow some way that calf came up missing yesterday was the day that we moved so we've still got a window of opportunity to save this calf yesterday was the day that we moved so we're going to zip around all over the…
