Long after I moved north, a farm in Newbury, Massachusetts, was in the national news because of the haunting sounds their neighbors were reporting at night, wails of sadness and heartache. People from miles around thought a cow was being tortured. It was, but not in the way they thought. Local police reported she was mourning the loss of her calf, who had been taken from her soon after its birth so that milk meant for the calf could go to people.
