Summary
Two Angus cows and their calves arrive at Meadow Brook Farm in Wisconsin atthe start of the summer of 2008. The cattle are hesitant about their new surroundings and one of the calves, named 100, is very sick and has little chance of surviving. This is a story of Farmer Ron, who cared for the cattle with the skills of a self trained veterinarian; his long time friend Papa, who owns Meadow Brook Farm and helps tend to the farm and its animals; and Papas family who loved the calves. The story takes place over the summer, showing how Farmer Ron, Papa and their family help the cattle settle into their new home. It also shows how the attention and love of Farmer Ron, Papa and their family helped #100 beat the odds of surviving and grow to be a tough, young bull.
