Thanks for the condolences. When you have a dead cow in a tight herd and you go to haul her away with a tractor you will see what I’m talking about...they kinda freak.

Cows, like most all animals, are creatures of habit and routine. When those habits and routines are messed with they react strangely. Just like you or I would.

Give those cows a week assuming their current arrangement allows them access to food and water. After that, start to work them. Don’t be rough and don’t be loud. You don’t have to yell at a cow to get them to do what you want. Cows overcome like everyone else and there will be something to settle them down eventually if you handle it properly.

If it makes any sense, you are their boss but not their master. You’ll control and herd cows only so far as you’ve proven yourself able to do so. Cows are herd animals so know that mentality. You can herd them but you can’t control them. Understand that....

You’re more than entitled to let some emotion and observation go.

Not only that, but when God gives you insight, it’s good to share it. You never know who you might touch with your words.

To you it might seem like just an outlet for pent up emotion, but to someone reading, someone who’s going through things in their own life, your words might be a treasure of faith and comfort.

Especially with this medium, where we never know just who or how many are reading what we write (some of their purposes dark ones, for sure) but the commonality of experience with you, your loved ones and the Critters you breed and care for can be invaluable to those who may never say a word to let you know.

May God send His angels and blessings to you tonight.

We don’t haul them away. Our cows are out in the pasture, grazing, the dead ones just stay where they died.
