Endurance of Life Surprises Iowa Farmer Calf in Straw Stack
Frank Schallen of Lotts Creek told the Courier a tale of animal tenacity. A straw stack toppled after cattle undermined it, trapping a eight month old heifer calf and a hen with chicks for eight tons of straw. The calf survived eight days without food or water beyond straw, then recovered after water and oats. The hen endured as well with the chicks dead.
