Today we had a baby catastrophe. An older cow (10 years old) had twins during last nights storm. She only recognized one as hers and refuses to claim the other. Mark and I worked at getting all three together . The mother was protective and tried to hurt Mark. He was able to use some farm wisdom to get both babies away from the angry mom and lure her into the barn to milk her. He fed the orphan and gave the mom some injections of Vitamins to help her get more stable and strong. We rarely have twins in beef cows. Theses beef mommas can be dangerous and wild to approach. I thank God all are well. Especially for the wisdom He gave Mark and the protection He provided. The refusal of the momma to give milk to her baby in need is so heart breaking. She pushes away the calf she gave birth to as it desperately tries to get the needed milk to survive. It doesn't understand the mother and the mother doesn't think it is her baby.
How sad it is that many push away their creator and Father in heaven? How it must break His heart as He has all we need to survive. He is my creator and comforter. He will never leave me or forsake me. I am His adopted child. Thank God! Jeremiah 1:5 says "before I formed you in the womb, I knew you and approved of you" . Ephesians 1:5"For He foreordained us to be adopted as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will so that we might be to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace, which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved." Blessings to all. Desiree
