| Description: | Shaky, blurry and dull in contrast and imagery The Air Force starts its 'Operation Hay-Lift' to save the starving livestock of the western ranges, as new blizzards lash the distressed areas. Ranchers help load bales of hay aboard cargo planes, which drop the precious feed above the blizzard-bound herds of cattle and sheep. A shot of a rancher riding his horse and coming upon a little lost calf. He gently picks up the calf and places him across the horse's neck. Hay being loaded into a transport plane. | |
