"Farmer is wondering what the message might be" :rofl:

Holy cow? White cross on forehead of calf at US dairy farm seen by some as divine sign.

A calf with a white marking on its forehead in the approximate shape of a cross was born last week at a dairy farm in Sterling, a small rustic town on the Rhode Island border. Owner Brad Davis tells WFSB-TV he thinks the marking may be a message from above, though he's still trying to figure out what that message might be.

The mostly brown calf is half Jersey, half Holstein. Neighborhood children have named it Moses.

17. How about the fifteenth century BC?

Cow and bull worship was in vogue then. (Remember the golden calf idols of the Bible.)

2. White cross on the forehead?...

that's just a target. God obviously wants us to eat beef.

3. If it's only a cross, and not the Virgin Mary, it means nothing...

...besides religious icons only should appear in cheese...you can find that in the Bible.

4. LOL

"religious icons should only appear in cheese":rofl:

5. It's true! I think it's found in the section that Tim Tebow notes under

his eyes...of course, he was crying, so I may have gotten the passage wrong.

6. Here's the picture of the sweet little guy.

I doubt if this is as good as being a white buffalo.

9. Ya beat me to it! (And I don't even eat veal.) nt

12. Looks more like a map of Africa...

what a sweet little guy, though.

14. Looks like a ballet dancer to me.

The mark - not the calf.

Maybe it's a sign that the arts should receive more support!!!

[madmom]

18. That's the same thing I thought!

[thereismore]

It's a + sign telling him to learn some arithmetic. nt

[KamaAina]

19. The calf clearly wants Nutmeggers to support math and science education.

The farmer, not so much. 'Specially on the science part. :eyes:

8. Those people are so pathetically desperate in their attempts to find "signs and wonders"

11. boy calf born at dairy.. that Holy Cow's cross may have saved him from a grisly fate

bless his heart:)

[mzteris]

13. Moses?

That makes absolutely nooooooooooooooooooooo sense.

Of course believing your receiving a "sign from god" because of hair on a cow is a little ridiculous, too.

15. In addition, a murder of crows landed on my neighbor's roof

and I heard a owl hoot three times outside last night in her oak tree. Obviously she's a witch. We'll prepare to burn her tomorrow. Omens, signs, suspicionsssss!!!
