The grand kids name then as soon as they hit the straw...we just provide the letter of the year (started over this year).
Herd book doesn't care if it is a name or number.

Almost all our commercial cows all go by number but they all know their numbers, even our boss cow is just 51. However, we have a few named commercials:
Princess: was an orphan
Cowntess: her adopting sister
Ballerina - She did a nice little pirouette and leaped out of a six foot corral as a calf and stayed.
Chocolate Eater - If you have a chocolate cake in your hands you have to watch out, she is obsessed.
The steers for the freezer are "Mr. Steer".
The purebreds all have names and we call them by their registered name. The bull is called by his registered name unless I get ticked at him and then he is bull.
Some of my favourite names that we have named the heifers are - Prima Donna (dam is Diva). Miss Charisma, Lady Scarlett. The rest are just pretty much girls names. We had a preemie this year that we named Eliza Doolittle hoping that by the fall she would grow into being Elizabeth.

We have a show Maine that's named Natasha and a show Shorty that's named Jewel. Our new bull's name is Conan, oh, the new show heifer we traded for this year her name is Sally Mae. The rest are related to by their eartag except for this steer we have and he's just "the steer".

We have names for a few, mostly the show calves and registered. Next year is U names, I'll have to get the dictionary out.
Names: Favorite (real name is Ruby) and her calf Baby Favorite (registered name is Ruby Tuesday)
Tristan, Tye, Trey, Tasha, Tyler - all new calves named after one family and a cousin
Reba, Ardy, Big Mama, Jughead (and she is), Spirit, Mac, Laurel and Hardy, Sandy Jane, Sloane, Rivera, Cherry and Terri, Felina,
Our freezer meat has been heifers that don't breed and they were Steaks and Blue Roan.

All of our cows have names because they're registered. But we call them by their ear tag number.
Our gomer bull is called "Red." The first one had quite a bit of red on his head and neck, so we called him "Red." Later ones didn't have that much red on them, but we called them "Red" anyway. The vet calls them "Romeo" but that just doesn't seem to fit.

Most of ours have names by the registration year letters but not all, and some just have numbers. Some of the cow names are: red, big red, little red, kinda red, granny, hateful, witch woman, silver, and tar baby. Some of the recent replacement names are: pearl, poppy, ruby, retha, rose, rachel, saphire, tess, tillie, and topaz. Fair prospect steers for one of the grandsons are: t-bone, thunder, thor, and thomas the train. Herd bulls have been wildman, ull the bull (named by a grandson), brutus, m-5, red max, and right on, who was traded last weekend for superman. One replacement was named porsche but thought her name was 'her' - watch 'her', lookout for 'her', don't turn your back on 'her', stay away from 'her', at last we caught 'her', and finally, we got rid of 'her'. And after selling 'her' and 'her' calf, it only cost me about $400 to own 'her' for that year! Oh well, wish that was the only time I messed up!

I have some with a name...
Twinkie - Pinz, lead dog, er cow
Herf - Herford
Our bull is "Junior"
The rest have #'s and are called by such
If the kids pick out a calf they tend to give them a name, only not every kid calls a calf by the same name :roll:
Our freezer beef this year was named "Cupcake", go figure?? Kids again!

bottle calves and bulls get names anything from Ferdinand White Tail, to Rosebud, to Whappy (used multiple times - the sound of that tail wagging as they suck the bottle down - whap whap whap)

Small herd so they all have names. Had a calf born on Easter, so that's her name. Otherwise we name in order of the alphabet on the heifer calves. Steers are Supper and Dinner.
