John,
Even though we don't read the statement that God blessed the livestock and beasts of the field we are able to see that they indeed do have the same blessing that God gave the fish, the birds, and to man. Namely the ability to procreate.
God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, (v. 22; v. 28) God will bless his own works, and not forsake them; and what he does shall be for a perpetuity. The power of God’s providence preserves all things, as at first his creating power produced them. Fruitfulness is the effect of God’s blessing and must be ascribed to it; the multiplying of the fish and fowl, from year to year, is still the fruit of this blessing. Well, let us give to God the glory of the continuance of these creatures to this day for the benefit of man.
Every object was in its right place, every vegetable process going on in season, every animal in its structure and instincts suited to its mode of life and its use in the economy of the world. He saw everything that He had made answering the plan which His eternal wisdom had conceived; and, "Behold it was very good"
