The Jimenes sisters’ cow Jasmina had been lost. The cow was almost a family member for them. So the sisters were very desperate. They searched the cow for more than two weeks, and the neighbors kept telling them that Jasmina must had already been chopped for steaks. But thanks to prayers to Saint Francis of Assisi one morning the cow turned up calmly walking by the road. The sisters give thanks for this miraculous return.

Guard my cows, because sometimes the devil comes to dance with them.

We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for healing our spotted cow. She was so sick after giving birth to her calf, we thought she was going to die.

Virgin, help me with the cow Dora who won’t let milk her. Thanks.

Joaquin Ramirez took his cows to drink water from the lake when suddenly an UFO appeared and abduct one cow. That cow wasn’t belong to Joaquin but to his friend. Joaquin thanks the Holy Child from Atocha because UFO didn’t abduct him and the friend believed him and didn’t charge him for the missing cow.

Juan Vazquez won a cow in the town lottery. He thanks Saint Anthony the Abbot because now he and his family enjoy fresh milk every day. They lacked such a sacred product before and couldn’t afford this animal.

The train came off the rails and was going to hit Salomon *** and his cows when the amazing miracle was happened. Salomon saw the angels coming down from the sky to stop the train and avoid the tragedy. No one died, no one was hurt. Salomon offers this retablo in gratitude.

A beautiful snake came to play with the animals. Thank you for it didn’t harm them.

I thank the Lord for giving me the idea to make my cow more interesting just by painting Sartre’s face on her sirloin area.

Because of our lack of money, we couldn’t build a stable. And every time when it rained, my wife brought the cow in the house so that it wouldn’t get wet. I hated to see cow’s muzzle waking up. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe for money for the stable, so now the animal sleeps over there.
