Isolation

Dan, a bovine farmer down on his luck, agrees to rent out his farm to a scientist. The scientist, John is working with a veterinarian Orla who comes to check on the cow they have impregnated. Dan has been told nothing of what the experiment hopes to accomplish and as he needs the money, he seems unconcerned until during an examination of the pregnant cow, Orla is bit by the fetus. Orla plays it off to Dan as nothing major but when John shows up, she admits what happened and demands to know if the baby is all right. John tells her that the sonogram is coming up fine and talks to Dan about two squatters he has on the property, demanding he get rid of them. Later that night, the cow goes into labor but it is a narrow passage and Dan gets help from Jamie, one of the squatters to help him deliver. Once the baby is born, Dan, trying to check on it, is bitten. Orla returns and, upon an exam of the calf's mouth, determines that it is a genetic abnormality and that the experiment failed. She kills the calf to autopsy the body but in doing so discovers something very disturbing. The calf was pregnant.
