A three-day-old calf was safely returned home Wednesday after wandering away from its farm in Minooka, according to the Minooka Fire Protection District.

What we know:

The calf decided to seize the moo-ment and see the world in Minooka, Ill. so it wandered away from its home, a farm owned by Ryan Roberts. 

When the baby cow was reported missing, the Minooka Fire District moo-ved into action. 

Drone operator and fire inspector Matt Feinberg soared above the fields to look for the little one. Finally, he found the calf in a cornfield. Feinberg shared the calf's location with Roberts, and the cow went moo, moo, moo, all the way home. 

The fire department posted on Facebook saying, "From cow-culating the best search pattern to staying pasture bedtime, we were happy to lend a hoof in this rescue!"
