Parents Bring Home An Orphaned Baby Cow, But It’s Their Daughter Who Surprised Them All

Lacey Gray and her family have been taking care of an orphaned cow – in their home. The shocking thing to Lacey and her husband was the connection their 2-year-old daughter, Kinley, has with the young cow, named Molly. Lacey works as a photographer in Memphis, Tennessee. A client asked her to get some photos of a calf.

Luckily, Lacey’s husband has an uncle who is a farmer and has some cows. Lacey was told that one of the cows on his farm had fallen and was likely to die. She had a calf that would certainly die if she did – so Lacey jumped at the chance to take care of the calf. Lacey was rather excited to be a cow mom! All Lacey had to do know was tell her family about their new family member! Kinley wasted no time making Molly feel at home.

They brought Molly in the house to help her adjust.

Kinley gave Molly a tour and showed her where all her toys were!

Molly now has her own special place outdoors. Kinley loves to help feed Molly. In return, Molly showers her with licks (all over her face!).
