[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 854096, member: 16769"] Well, our new, itty bitty ABW calf seems to be doing just fine; mama's being a good mama, etc. But, I have some angst . . . We're small -- we name our cattle so that when we're talking about an animal, we know which one is which. We're not too good at math, so "Ear Tag #6" or "Ear Tag #2" doesn't help much in communicating, because then someone has to clarify with age or color or some such. So, we name 'em. The ABW dam of this calf is "Freckles," so named and obvious because she's over-marked and has lots of black freckles and splotches. The little heifer is not overmarked, so I was thinking about calling her "Dot," because she's just a little spot of a creature. So, here's the problem. The next-door cattle guy absolutely DOES NOT name his cattle, and he says with a smirky grin that our herd are "Kathie's Princess Cows." So, if my husband gets to choose the name he wants for the little heifer, which is TINKER BELL, how long do you think it will take the neighbor cattle guy to laugh us out of the neighborhood? :???: [/QUOTE]
