I feel for your friend. He has a mess on his hands. The calves don't know where "home" is after only a few hours there. So every where is strange to them. Also I would bet that they where trailer weaned. So they are under a lot of stress right now. That makes handling them even harder.
Two things will help if you can find them. 1) A pair of good cattle dogs can control them better than any number of humans. 2) A good cutting horse and an experienced rider can also handle them.
People on foot or ATVs will not work very well.
The best hope is that they get in with some local cattle. If you find them and the cattle owner agrees, let them stay there for a few days and try to work them into a pen. If you get them loaded make sure your friend does not put them out on pasture right away. Any fence less than newer woven wire will not hold a spooked smaller calf. They can run through or under most common fences. He would be better to pen them up for few weeks and get them used to him and the area.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
