Moo-ving Through History: The Love Story of Valentine’s Day
Welcome to a tale as sweet as a fresh pail of milk on a sunny pasture! Our cow-tastic journey through the history of Valentine’s Day begins with the legendary exploits of a certain Saint ValenMOO, a cow-noodling hero of love.
In the days of the mighty Roman Empire, a ruler named Emperor Claudius II had some peculiar notions about romance. He believed that single soldiers were better suited for battle, so he banned marriage for young lovers. But our bovine-hearted hero, Saint ValenMOO, couldn’t let love be corralled.
With udder determination, Saint ValenMOO secretly united couples in moo-trimony, defying the emperor’s decree. However, his matchmaking escapades didn’t go unnoticed. ValenMOO was eventually caught, placed in a pen-tagon, and met his fate on February 14th, around the year 269 AD.
But the spirit of love lived on! Just as cows have a knack for escaping their pens, the holiday known as Valentine’s Day broke free from its humble origins. Some say it was inspired by the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, where young Romans would draw names and form romantic connections. Others point to Geoffrey Chaucow’s poetic prowess, who popularized the idea of romantic love in his “Parliament of Moos.”
In time, the day became associated with heart-shaped cud, cow-zying up with your beloved, and the exchange of mooo-velous tokens of affection. Handwritten notes turned into moo-licious cards, and the tradition of sending love messages was born.
Today, Valentine’s Day has become a global herd-reaching celebration. It’s the day when folks don their most stylish cow spots, exchange cow-tastic gifts, and share milkshakes for two. So, whether you’re snuggling with your special moo-someone or simply sharing a good laugh over a dairylicious card, remember that Valentine’s Day is a time to cherish the bonds that moooove us all.
So, grab your cow-boy or cow-girl, share a smooch, and remember the legend of Saint ValenMOO as you celebrate this udderly delightful day of love and laughter on February 14th. Moosic to your ears, isn’t it?

We do our best to add it to the product description if they are not or are.
Where are the products made or printed?
We do not have a lot of control over that, we do focus on Australian printed products. Where the printers source the products we do not know.
Some products might not be available in Australia and are printed overseas but we do our best to only use Australian resources.
Do you get the full amount of the purchase?
NO, we only get a small percentage of the purchase, about 10 – 15%. We aim to keep the price as low as possible to make the merchandise affordable for all.
We try to keep the shipping cost as low as possible, but we are depending on the printers when it comes to shipping cost. We cannot influence that.
We just hope that everybody will buy some merchandise, lots of small sales instead of one big one.
Why do you have your own shop?
Basically to ensure safety of your data. We delete your orders and information every six months. We do not store payment details, other than the order number.
Using shops like Redbubble does work to some extend, but after trying it for a while it does not seem to work for us. So we created our own. We do use print on demand services and have no stock, this reduces our wastage footprint.
Basically for “shits and giggles”, it helps us to pay for the running cost and other expenses. A misconception is that we make money with the Dayboro Lions Business Directory and/or the Events Calendar. This is NOT true, all those services are paid for by us (RDS.ink and HELP4BIS.com).
Dayboro.au fully relies on donations and sponsorship. No income is generated by the directory or events calendar.
