Calf who escaped farm inferno is on the mend

A calf that escaped a barn fire but suffered horrific burns over 65 per cent of its body is on the road to recovery.

Andy, a four-month-old Holstein cow, managed to flee after being caught up in the night-time inferno but was severely injured, losing both his ears and an eyelid.

The farm owners attempted to care for the calf, which had sustained second degree burns, but became overwhelmed when his health wasn’t improving.
