Creativity on the Ranch

Have you ever thought about the innumerable differences there are in nature? Why does the cow say “moo”, the horse say “neigh”, the donkey say “he haw”, and the pig say “oink” …...not to mention the crow of the rooster? How dull the ranch would be if all the animals spoke the same language. And what about the differences in the way they raise their young? Yesterday, one of our cows brought her new calf close to the ranch house to show her off, after four days of keeping her hidden away from the herd and predators. However, since the calf was still somewhat weak and wobbly, the mother cow stood motionless by her baby for over an hour while the baby napped. When the baby woke up, they slowly walked down to join the herd. A horse would never do that. Within a few of hours of birth, our last foal started racing around the pasture, as if he was practicing for the next Kentucky Derby. Mother hens literally keep their babies covered in the umbrella of their wings, safe from harm for the longest time. All our ranch animals have different traits. Since we became ranchers, our education in nature has been continual and fascinating. I think only the Creator could have conceived and revealed the term creativity.
