Songs, cereal & more
The names keep coming in! Take a look at some of the latest responses:
“Naming calves is something that our whole family enjoys and with over 100 heifer calves born a year, we get out the dictionary as often as the baby name book. Some of our favorites include our Elvis song family. It started with Railane Blue Suede Shoes who has Railane Kentucky Rain, who then had Railane Love Me Tender and Railane Little Sister. We also have a breakfast cereal family. Names in this family include Cheerios, Froot Loops, Oatmeal, Crispix, Trix, Lucky Charm, Apple Jacks, Honey Comb and Frosted Flakes. Another family is the heart family that started with Broken Heart because of a marking on her head. Family members include Precious Heart, Restless Heart, Carefree Heart, Faithful Heart and Hopeful Heart.”

“Some bull names that were a little odd…Cheeko Boogie Motion-TW, Pack-Herd Bunky Boo, Centerdel Mr Twister and MM-T Pocket SS Kamasutra. A cow name that is a little different was C Logic Marijuana.”
I hope you all have enjoyed reading these names as much as I have enjoyed receiving them. I thought now would be a good time to share with you some of the names I have helped come up with on my family’’s farm. One of my first 4-H heifers was named Raylore Levi Blackberry. Her dam was Raylore In Blossom-TW, an Inspiration daughter. Although she didnt have any heifers, she did have a Starbuck sister that I showed, Blacklily. She now has 3 daugthers by Cousteau - Blacklace, Blacksatin & Icelily (born during a snowstorm) and a daughter by Mr Sam - Ms Lily. So basically the naming scheme has been either Black____ or ____lily.
Well, all of these naming suggestions we have received should really add to your list of potential cow names! Feel free to keep sending some more as you think of them.
