Alan and Leah Wolford's farm worker had to travel some distance in their tractor to find some of the drowned calves. 1 of 1 5370537724001 Caught between the floodwaters of the Thomson River and Rainbow Creek, both fed from Cowwarr Weir spill, the yearling and autumn-drop heifers on Alan and Leah Wolford’s farm didn’t stand a chance. Of 50 missing heifers, the family has found 10 — all dead and caught with flood debris on neighbours’ farms — some of them found kilometres from the paddocks they were grazing. “I had to get the cows up first. By the time I went back for the young cattle, they were gone,” an emotional Alan Wolford said.
