Jesus Was Born on a Dairy Farm

Farmers Know that Jesus Was Born on a Dairy Farm

Bethlehem was a Dairy, Right?

Bale Harrison & The Texas Field Hands

LYRICS: Jesus Was Born on a Dairy Farm

(Verse 1) In a little town called Bethlehem, on a cold and silent night,
A baby boy was born in a barn, under a star so bright.
They say there was no room at the inn, no cradle for His charm,
But we know Jesus was born on a dairy farm.

(Chorus) Born on a dairy farm Christmas Eve,
With cattle lowing, and angels’ songs to weave.
In the hay where the cows lay, He found His peace,
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the baby Jesus sleeps.

(Verse 2) The shepherds came a-runnin’, from fields not far away,
They knew where the good milk flowed, and where the Savior lay.
Three wise men brought their treasures, gold and myrrh in hand,
But they traded for butter and cheese from the dairy land.

(Bridge) The star was shining bright, like a cowbell in the sky,
Guiding folks from near and far, with a sweet heavenly sigh.
The ox and donkey stood by, making sure the milk was near,
And the stable smelled like home, bringing joy and cheer.

(Verse 3) Mary had her cravings, yogurt and honey too,
The cows were busy lowing, saying, “This one’s for you!”
And that first Christmas miracle, fresh milk on demand,
Proved He was the King, in this blessed dairy land.

(Outro) So as we gather ’round this Christmas time,
Remember the manger, the star, and the chime,
For in that stable, both humble and warm,
Our Savior was born on a dairy farm.
Yeah, our Savior was born on a dairy farm.

Auf Wiedersehen!
And may your holidays be filled with milk, cheese, and joy!

Bethlehem was a dairy farm… Clear to me… You?

15 Reasons Why Dairymen Know Jesus Was Born on a Dairy Farm

1. The Presence of a Manger

Let’s face it, a manger is just a fancy word for a feeding trough. And where do you find those? Dairy farms! It’s not like mangers were the hot new furniture trend of the first century.

2. The “Lowing” of Cattle

The carol “Away in a Manger” clearly states, “The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes.” That’s cow-speak for, “We’re busy making milk here, can you keep it down?”

3. The Shepherds’ Quick Arrival

Shepherds aren’t exactly known for being fleet of foot, but they managed to make it to the nativity scene in record time. Why? Because they were just across the field, delivering sheep’s milk!

4. The Three Wise Men’s Gifts Were Bartered

Gold, frankincense, and myrrh? Sure, but I bet they threw in some fresh butter and cheese as part of the deal. Gold is great, but have you ever tried spreading it on toast?

5. Mary’s Cravings During Pregnancy

The Bible doesn’t go into specifics, but we all know that pregnant women crave dairy. And Mary? You just know she was asking for a midnight snack of yogurt and honey.

6. The Star Overhead

That bright star in the sky? Clearly a celestial cowbell guiding everyone to the barn. No one can resist the lure of fresh milk and cookies.

7. The Silent Night

Only a dairy farm could be that peaceful. Well, except for the occasional “moo” in the background. But that’s just white noise for farm folks.

8. The Angels’ Announcement

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward cows.” It’s not a well-known verse, but it’s there if you look hard enough.

9. No Room at the Inn?

No problem. Dairy farms always have extra hay bales and a spare corner in the barn. Plus, the cows enjoy the company!

10. The Swaddling Clothes

Swaddling clothes are essentially the ancient equivalent of a cow blanket. Warm, soft, and perfect for a newborn King.

11. The Ox and the Donkey

These two weren’t just hanging out for fun. They were there to ensure the milk supply stayed consistent. Oxen for plowing, donkeys for carrying the milk cans—it’s a well-oiled farm machine.

12. The Stable’s Sweet Aroma

The stable where Jesus was born? It wasn’t just any old shack; it had the sweet, familiar smell of fresh hay and cow manure. Nothing says “home” like a dairy farm’s unique perfume.

13. Milk as the First Miracle

Turning water into wine was impressive, but it’s well-documented that baby Jesus’ first miracle was getting fresh milk on demand. You don’t need to wait until Cana to see the dairy connection.

14. The Census Timing

Everyone was in Bethlehem for a census, but it was also prime calving season. Coincidence? I think not. The Romans just wanted to make sure they weren’t missing out on the dairy profits.

15. The Christmas Cheese

Why else do we leave milk and cookies out for Santa? It’s a tradition that dates back to that first Christmas, where dairy was the true gift to the world.
