Ziggy didn’t have a calf last year as a two-year
old. Hubby had considered selling her and Sundae, another heifer for whom A.I.
(artificial insemination) was unsuccessful, but I lobbied to give them one more
chance with an actual bull. My case was bolstered by the skyrocketing price of
replacement heifers as well as our surplus of hay.
Ziggy and Sundae received conditional amnesty,
but they always seemed rather melancholy. “Don’t worry,” I told them many
times, “you’ll have a calf next year. It will be worth the wait!”
As of yesterday, Ziggy’s wait is over!

will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace, you will
rejoice in your inheritance.” –ISAIAH 61:7 (NIV)
