On Oct. 11, 2014 an adorable calf was born on a farm in Michigan.

His great big family, along with all the other animals on the farm, instantly loved him. They watched over him and kept him safe, since he was the youngest and smallest of them all.

A few months later in December, when the young calf was only two months old, a terrible snowstorm hit the state of Michigan. All the animals on the farm were rushed to safety except for the youngest of them all, who had wondered off into the blinding snow.

Lost and confused, the courageous little calf began to call out for his family in tiny, squeaky moos.

Hearing no answer, the little lost calf began to search for his home, continuing to moo as loud as his tiny lungs would allow into the dark, snowy night.

He never lost hope as he called out for his mother, father, and even his aunts and uncles. It felt like he had been walking for forever when he came across a barn that looked like the one he lived in, so he nuzzled the door open with his cold nose and went inside.

Instead of finding his family, he found some bags of soybean seeds, several pallets of soybean oil and a few pieces of equipment, including a small tractor.

It turns out, he was in a barn owned by Zeeland Farm Services!

Happy to be out of the wind and the snow, the exhausted calf curled up next to a bag of seed and took a nap. The next day a ZFS employee noticed the barn door was open and so they went inside and discovered the young calf. Being the caring folks that they are, ZFS workers welcomed the calf into the family and gave him a home in the barn.

Overwhelmed with this new family, he began to moo much louder than he ever had before, but this time with glee! This made the folks of Zeeland Farm Services so happy that they came up with a name that fit him perfectly: Moozee.

Still on his mission to find his family, Moozee has been invited to ride along with the ZFS truck drivers to as many of our customers’ farms as possible in hopes of being reunited with his mom and dad.

As a thank you to the ZFS family that took him in, Moozee also goes to all of the ZFS events to see children and adults alike, reminding them that farmers rock, life on the farm is so great and the folks at Zeeland Farm Services strive to make it even better.
