SISTERSVILLE -- A rabbit-hunting excursion along the rolling hillsides of Tyler County led to an amazing rescue of a newborn calf.

Now the calf and its mother seem to appreciate what was done for them, said a farmhand who took part in the rescue.

"Now when I go out to check on the cows, the mama and her calf both will come up to me," said Johnny Moffitt. "It's as if they've adopted me."

It all began two days after Christmas when four hunters, all related by marriage, gathered at a farm along Middle Island Creek about six miles east of here.
