The harsh winter is dragging on at Valley View Farms, and the cattle feed is dwindling. The Buchanans' funds are too low to buy feed, so Big Tom signs up the boys for a tree-cutting job to make some quick cash. The job goes downhill quickly when Poppy steals Bo away to help a cow in distress. Even with the job, there's no guarantee they'll make the money in time, so Bo comes up with a last-minute scheme that just might save the day.
