Although it is not wrong to take these medications, they are rarely our first line of attack against personal suffering. Instead, we should first consider that God can bless us through our suffering, and we might also weigh the possibility that psychiatric medications could numb us to the refining benefits of suffering. There is a worthwhile point here. Although it may sound strange or even unloving to those who don’t share a biblical position, there can be real benefits from having our faith tested and strengthened through trials.

Weaning a dairy calf

Hi there,

Does anyone here have experience with dairy calves? We are very shortly
getting a jersey heifer, and I was wondering at what age do they usually
wean these little beauties? It is actually to be my daughters heifer, and
she has to choose between a 3 mos. and an 8 mos. . The breeder weans them
at 3 mos., but the 3 mos. old won't have been weaned we she arrives. I am
trying to decide whether or not we should wean her(if that is the one Carly
wants) like the breeder does or give her some milk for a bit more. I would
have some goats milk we could feed her. I know dairy farms often wean on
the early side because of economics. I want to follow a program that will
be optimal for the heifers developement.
Thanks
Jacqui
