A nine-year-old boy was convinced something was wrong when he spotted a cow in a field acting erratically—and he would not stop begging his mother to turn the car around.

Wyatt Ban was heading home with his mom after getting breakfast on Tuesday when he saw the mother cow running around frantically near Eminence, Indiana.

She initially brushed it off, but Wyatt was relentless.

“I didn’t think anything of it at first, but he was so upset and kept saying we had to go back, so I turned around.”

After pulling off near a bridge, Wyatt told her to stay in the car, saying he could fit through the fence.

He then walked along State Road 42, slipped through the barbed wire and into the pasture.

While his mom shot video through the window, Wyatt approached the cow, and realized her baby was stuck down the steep bank of a creek.

His mother, Morgan Ban recounted the rescue with pride, speaking with SWNS news agency.

“He made sure the momma was out of the way, then gently pushed the calf up and out of the water.”
