Mitchell Miner, the 15-year-old boy grew up a farm in Iowa. It’s on this farm that Mitchell has his own beloved heifer, Audri.
The two came back home after attending the Iowa State Fair, where they participated in the youth dairy cattle show. They fought hard and came in 5th out of a total of 7 entries.
By the end of the competition, the two were left with no nergy, completely exhausted. So they decided to rest.
After a short time, Mitchell’s father went looking for his son — and what he found in the barn melted his heart.

Mitchell and Audri had both fallen asleep right by each other. Mitchell rested his head on Audri’s belly, and the cow had put her head on Mitchell’s knee. It was all just very cozy.
“When you spend that much time with them, they get really comfortable with you,” Mitchell’s mother, Laura Miner, told Des Moines Register.
