This morning’s San Francisco Chronicle has this article in it with an amusingly captioned picture. For fun, find all three errors in the caption.

It's all in the first sentence: - A steer can't call for "her" calf. - Need a comma between Oroville and California. - The herd may have heard the "steer," but I doubt that the "heard" heard it.
And I don't happen to think that agriculture-business should be hyphenated.
Pete S: You’re right about the first sentence. I skipped over the comma between city and state because the trend in writing is to clean it up of superfluous punctuation. Sometimes I myself personally skip commas. The hyphen is unnecessary.

I think the 'steer' is really the calf, too.

Susan, now that you point it out, that "steer" does look pretty young!
