The Lord again has granted us another calf to be born, a little heifer calf, to one our our heifers Carlita, who is out of our cow Holga (who is the mother of our new calf Rafaela). This new heifer is another chocolate brown one that looks just like our new calf Bernardo. Since she looks like chocolate, and some people think chocolate is heavenly, we thought we’d call her Celestina, which means, well, “heavenly” (I know that may sound a bit carnal (or is it, caramel?); but hey, we’re just trying to give her a name 🙂 ).

Here’s a picture:

And here’s her moving picture:

As always, we are grateful to God for His provisions of this new calf, and we pray He glorifies Himself through this act of Providence.

I know from an interest and information stand-point posting calf after calf might get a little boring for some readers; but hopefully the readers will understand that these types of gracious provisions are for our livelihood, and are thus important events out here, and are wondrous in the granting of new life by our Creator.

And so, without further ado: the Lord has granted another calf to one of our cows — this one to Tiara, who is Amistosa’s daughter, and was our first born to our family on the land. It’s a little bull calf; and like the new Longhorn heifer calf born to Amistosa, he ended up with similar facial markings, much like a Mexican wrestler. Thus we decided to call him Luchador, which means “wrestler” in Spanish.

Here he is with his mama just before dark:

And here’s the live action version:

We are once again very grateful to God for granting the provisions of this new calf.

With gratefulness we mention once again God granting a new calf to be born to one of our cows. This one is to Amistosa, and it’s a little heifer calf. She has markings on her face that reminded us of a Mexican wrestler; and so, we decided to name her Mascarilla, which is Spanish for “face mask.”

Here we have a picture of her:

And here is her video:

We indeed thank the Lord again for granting this continuation and growing of the herd.

Graciously again, God has granted another calf to be born to one of our cows. This time it’s Rosalinda (half sister of the cow in the previous blog post), and she had a little bull calf. As you can see, he’s sort of chocolate brown; and a bear is brown; so we decided to call him Bernardo, which in Spanish means “bold as a bear.”

And here he is with his mother:

And here’s a quick video:

As always, we are grateful to the Lord for granting another healthy birth and increase of the herd.

The Lord has graciously granted another calf, a little heifer, to one of our other heifers Rociada, which means this is her first calf! Rociada comes from one of our cows Rosa; and in continuing with the naming tradition of Rosa and Spanish names for our Longhorns, we decided to name this new calf after a type of old garden rose called Alba that has white and pink blossoms, which is also the Spanish name that means “dawn.”

And so, here is our new heifer Alba:

And a video:

We thank God once again for this provision of the new calf; and we pray she is productive for ourselves and others, according to God’s will.
