The people that owned the ranch my mom worked for raised me like their grandkid since theirs were older and lived across the US from them. Two of my favorite ones (because it made the ranch lady giggle every time her husband got it wrong) were Black Legs and Black Neck. They truly looked alike, I just could tell the difference and Gene always got it wrong, even when he tried. <br /><br />Now my kids have started naming our cows and their goats and chickens. Gene's favorite hen's names were named when he was four. "Yellow"...yes, she's a big yellow hen and his two red hens were named "Light" and "Dark". The goats are Dukes of Hazard themed. First twins were named Daisy and Dukes. Then Dukes became the resident billy, and in the goat world it's ok to breed back, so we bred him to his mother as we love both of their characteristics and fondly referred to him, the father and uncle, as "Duncle Dukes" with that batch of kids. We've since raised a Rosco and have four new kids to name this year.<br /><br />And, miss cinch tier, his pup's name is "Cinch". :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873135519004318481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542560964799793484.post-1765635022649433372014-04-22T18:44:00.641-07:002014-04-22T18:44:00.641-07:00hahahaha!hahahaha!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755040043994064601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542560964799793484.post-75902848619152207152014-04-22T18:43:44.400-07:002014-04-22T18:43:44.400-07:00Love it!Love it!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755040043994064601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542560964799793484.post-49641478481124764642014-04-22T04:00:49.549-07:002014-04-22T04:00:49.549-07:00I leave most of the naming up to the kids but I wi...I leave most of the naming up to the kids but I will offer suggestions at times. I would guess that about 10% become name worthy here usually because of unique coloring or attitude. A few cows, Crybaby, Precious, Brownie (who is black) Awesome, and my personal touch just to make my daughter scream "Shitnose" Larry Olberding Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16821407430085877568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542560964799793484.post-41359979279548177432014-04-21T20:30:10.631-07:002014-04-21T20:30:10.631-07:00I am responsible for naming some of the cows here....I am responsible for naming some of the cows here. And the bulls. Even if its just their tag number. <br />My favs are Nerdly, beanstalk, yard hog, moink, tater. And the bulls, patches, justabull, dark meat (angus), that's just a few of the 650 cows!CDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199340649340083682noreply@blogger.com
