A disappointing loss

We have anxiously been waiting for our first beef cow to drop her calf. Well she did, but it was stillborn. Such a disappointing loss. It is sad to see an animal dead but it is harder when you were counting on that meat in 18 months. We will try and get a holstein calf to graft on to the cow as her udder is quite full and she would feed it well. This is part of being a farmer and a Christian agrarian - we do our best but ultimately all life and death is in the hands of God.
