Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Talk to Follows-Chalk about the local wildlife.

 * 3) Bring the calf to its mother.
 * 4) (optional) Do not kill any Bighorners along the way.

Detailed walkthrough
Talking to Follows-Chalk about interesting wildlife in Zion will initiate this quest. After receiving it, head to Angel Cave and go up the slope to left of the camp as you look at it from the island. After maneuvering across the river over the three rock bridges, you will find the lost bighorner calf at the end of a narrow passage opposite the end of the last bridge.

In order to complete the optional part of the quest just don't get too close to any of the other bighorners and they won't attack you. If you do get close, make sure you back away as soon as you can, as they won't attack if you move quickly. If the player, a companion, or any other NPC kills a bighorner, the optional part of the quest fails.

You will have to feed the lost calf a banana yucca fruit to get it to follow you. make sure you have 3-4 banana yucca fruits on you (there are 3 banana yucca fruit plants along the route) as the calf will periodically stop and you will have to feed it another before it will continue. It can take 5-10 seconds after feeding for the calf to resume following you again.

Return back across the rock bridges to the bighorner mother. Choose to either return the calf or keep it and if the former, speak to Follows-Chalk to complete the quest and receive the reward. If you killed any bighorners in the process of completing the quest, Follows-Chalk will still give the reward. He indicates that he understands but wishes they had not been killed. If you kill no bighorners, you will receive 25% more XP for the quest.

Leave Follows-Chalk or Waking Cloud waiting near the Angel Cave as they can spook and start killing bighorners, which is 'blamed' on you.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the calf will become stuck in the last rock bridge you have to cross before reaching the bighorner mother. Reloading an old save and trying again has worked to circumvent this. Although if the calf gets stuck in the rock you can still return it to the bighorner mother.
 * When you walk past the first bighorner, the game may crash.
 * When you walk across the rock bridge, the game might crash.
