Maine gun store hires 'udderly' adorable employee, a baby cow
A gun store in Maine has quite the new hire on its hands: a baby cow.
The calf named Kade is now the “shop pet” of A&G Shooting, a gun store in Fairfield, Maine.
Fairfield is a small town in central Maine, located near the city of Waterville.

Kade’s backstory is somewhat sad.
His “mom had rejected him, so he was shivering and cold and [lying] in some mud in the woods, and we found him,” Adam Hendsbee, owner of A&G Shooting, told Fox 22 Bangor.

Hendsbee and his wife brought the Miniature Zebu calf into their home to keep him warm and safe.
After they nursed Kade back to health, Hendsbee decided to put him to work at A&G Shooting.

The calf’s “duties” at the store include inspecting products and receiving snuggles, said Fox 22.
Unsurprisingly, tiny Kade has become a local draw.
The pet is a “celebrity” in Fairfield — and is available for pictures, pets and cuddles whenever he is in the store, Hendsbee told Fox 22.
Kade has brought many people into the store and is happy to take pictures and receive cuddles, said Fox 22 Bangor. He will reach about 600 pounds once fully grown. (WFVX)
Kade is also apparently quite an agreeable coworker.
“He brings in a lot of smiling faces and a lot of kids — [he] gets the newer generation into stuff and makes the gun shop aspect a little warmer,” Payton Atwood, an employee at A&G Shooting, told Fox 22.

Alessandra Varricchio, a customer who came in specifically to see Kade, said he was “so adorable.”
“Cows are my favorite animal, so it’s nice to have him here,” Varricchio told Fox 22.

Miniature Zebus are a rare and critically endangered breed of cattle, notes the website for Oklahoma State University’s Department of Animal & Food Sciences.

As the name suggests, the animal’s “most notable characteristic is their small size.”
A full-grown miniature zebu is about three to three-and-a-half feet tall, and a bull like Kade is expected to weigh between 400 and 600 pounds, said Oklahoma State University.
As long as I can fit him in the car, he’ll go wherever with me
Comparatively, a black Angus cow will weigh well over 1,000 pounds.
Kade’s size will dictate how long he is employed at A&G Shooting, said Hendsbee.
“For the next few months, I would say he’s going to be a staple here. As long as I can fit him in the car, he’ll go wherever with me,” he told Fox 22.
Fox News Digital reached out to A&G Shooting for further comment.

Heading to Pennsylvania? New law will cost you if you text and drive
Is Using Your Phone at a Red Light Legal in Delaware?
Whether or not you can legally use a cellphone at a red light in Delaware is complicated.
According to the Delaware State Code, “No person shall drive a motor vehicle on any highway while using an electronic communication device while such motor vehicle is in motion.”
Traveling from the First State to the Keystone State soon?
If so, you might want to put your cellphone down while you’re in the car unless you don’t mind coughing up a few extra bucks.
Beginning June 6, drivers caught using an electrical device while driving will be fined $50.
See how the new law works and what devices are legal to use while driving in neighboring Pennsylvania and here in Delaware.
Is it legal to use a cellphone while driving in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania law has barred drivers from reading, writing or sending text messages while driving since 2012, but other handheld cellphone uses were permitted.
The new law that takes effect next month expands the ban to all handheld device use while driving.
New law expands cellphone driving ban in PA
The new regulation, dubbed Paul Miller’s Law, defines an interactive mobile device as basically any electronic handheld device that can be used for things such as voice communication, texting, surfing the internet, playing games, taking photos or sharing social media that can be operated using at least one hand or “supporting body part” or requires pressing more than a single button.
Can I text when stopped at a red light in Pennsylvania?
No, the Pennsylvania law defines driving as operating a motor vehicle on a highway, including anytime the vehicle is temporarily stationary because of traffic, a traffic control device or other momentary delay such as a traffic backup.
What are the penalties for using a cellphone while driving in PA?
- Prior to the law going into effect, the penalty is a written warning.
- Starting June 6, the penalty is a summary offense with a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees.
- The law does not authorize the seizure of an interactive wireless device.
- The violation carries no points against your license and it is not recorded on the driver’s record for noncommercial drivers. It will be recorded on a commercial driver’s record as a non-sanction violation.
- If a driver is convicted of homicide by vehicle and driving while distracted, they may be sentenced up to an additional five years in prison.
When can you use a mobile device in the car in Pennsylvania?
- A driver may use an interactive mobile device if the driver moves the vehicle to the side of or off a highway and halts in a location where the vehicle can safely remain stationary
- The hands-free law allows for an emergency use exception if it is necessary to communicate with a law enforcement official or other emergency service to prevent injury to persons or property.
- The texting ban does not include the use of a GPS device or a system or device that is physically or electronically integrated into the vehicle, or a communications device that is affixed to a mass transit vehicle, bus or school bus.
Who is the new law in PA named for?
Paul Miller Jr., 21, was killed in a head-on motor vehicle accident with a tractor-trailer in 2010 in Monroe County as the result of a distracted driver who reached for their phone while driving. He was a junior at East Stroudsburg University where he was majoring in sociology.
After his death, his mother, Eileen Miller, has become a national advocate for stronger laws to curb distracted driving. In 2024, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro signed the law prohibiting the use of hand-held devices while driving, making Pennsylvania the 29th state to ban distracted driving.
Can you use a cellphone while driving in Delaware?
No, it is illegal for drivers to use any hand-held devices while driving in Delaware — and has been for over a decade.
This ban not only includes cellphones and smartphones, but also laptops, portable computers and tablets.
Drivers are also barred from reading, writing or sending text messages or emails; using the internet; or talking without a hands-free device at the ready while operating a vehicle.
Is there a fine for using a cellphone while driving in Delaware?
Any motorist caught using any hand-held device while driving will be fined $100 for their first offense. Any subsequent offense will result in a fine between $200 and $300.
