…but bear with me. You all have always come through for me during my toughest time. I hesitated posting this intention because it seems so trivial compared to others’ problems. But…

Could you please pray that my family milk cow will have an easy and safe delivery? She means the world to me and for various reasons, I’m soooo worried about her. She’s three days past her average due date (which itself isn’t a big deal, but is atypical for her) and enjoying keeping me on pins and needles. Please pray that God keeps her safe and healthy without any post-calving issues, and keeps her calf safe too. And if it’s not too much to ask, please let it be a heifer this time please… :gopray:

I start a new job tomorrow, and I fear not being around if she needs me 😦
 
Rence- you must be a farmer. No this is not weird! Quite practical actually.
 
Hope things MOOve along to a speedy and safe delivery of a little heifer!
 
It’s very practical indeed: If you can get your hands on a Baronius Missal, there are even prayers for the well-being of animals. Praying that the good Lord keeps mama cow and baby cow safe and healthy!
 
That’s not weird! :nope: But I’m weird 😃 So either way, it’s still a convenience. 👍

But I will pray for your cow. God bless :byzsoc:

First time I prayed for a cow, but I’ll do it with pleasure…

Me too and we used to raise cattle. Back when I was a kid, it never occurred to me to pray for Blossom, our favorite cow, but I guess it was just missed opportunity.🙂
 
I don’t think we can do much about whether it’s a heifer or not! 🙂 But I understand your feeling as I’ve known my sister many times to be concerned over how one of the cows will manage in birthing, and over the calf’s survival.
I think that you might need us to call on St Francis’s intersession, so consider it done.
 
Everyone, thank you so much for your prayers! Yes, I live on a farm and have livestock…but, no calf yet. Thank you for the prayer resources, I’ll be using them 🙂

:gopray:
 
Thank you for all your prayers. Bee calved at 945am this morning. Had another bull calf, but Bee is healthy and for that I’m very very grateful. I know, I’m very biased, but Bee is the prettiest mama EVAR in the world!

Here’s the bugger after trying to flounder around a bit to try and stand. He got tired and took a rest:

Awww! Glad cow and calf are doing well! Thanks for sharing the pics of mamma and the brand-new baby! Guess the little bull just needed ten days extra before making his entrance into the world, but I’m glad he is here now and that he and Bee are fine. .🙂

Maybe next time you’ll get a heifer. Guess you’ll have to castrate the little guy soon, but at least he is healthy and mamma is okay too.
