When someone donates a cow or buffalo
Txais Hlua Nyuj /Tsaj Tsaav Ntuj


In the olden days of our grand parents this does not usually happen, but when it does and someone like a son-in-law, sister etc... it can be anyone, donates a cow and do not sawv thawv. The family of the deceased must also supply a matching cow to receive them. The family also must have a feast table for these people to eat and drink.
At the table, you give them the head and one arm of your animal to them along with the rop that tied the animal and some money.

You don't do this for a pig. For a pig you simply write it down and thank the person there when the give it to you. Just like the nyaj tsaab ntuj.

Today this happens more often, however we don't supply a matching cow anymore or a feast table (rooj dlej rooj cawv). You simply call them all to sit at a table and thank them. This is the process and verse you say when you thank them for their cow donation.

You offer them the drink and a folked food ????? step 1 ua tsaug
step 2 cob rua puab (hlua nyuj hab naab ntawv)
step 3 foom koob moov (as you hand them to rope)
