My dad has to name every animal by it's color. Some sort of fetish he has, I guess. Sometimes he'll get creative and name them the french word for the color (both my parents speak french).
So my wife, the ever present smart alec, asks my dad how does he name his brangus cows....He points to their ear tag and says 6, 8, 12, 36.....
I'm more the subtle smart alec, and would name the brangus "whitie"
We had a red angus steer we called red bull...joke was on us, he had a bad banding job done and after we saw him chasing heifers we put him in the chute and removed two undecended testicles...still called him red bull though...for a few months anyway.
"Lucky" - a cow I bought out of the pound pen, and Elvis the bull - for obvious reasons. Steer calf named Bulldog - seriuos underbite when born. :mrgreen:
We've had a steer named Hamburger and one named T-bone. I have a heifer named Martina because I bought her on Martin Luther King day. Several that can't be said on these boards. :lol:
I have had many weird named animals my past6 steers have been...
Big Cliff
Sargent Pepper
Nim Rod
Tar Baby(from Briar Rabbit)
Red Bone
& Stymie Joe
but all of my heifers and cows have weird names too...
Black Betty
Kookie Monster
Miss Kitty
Connie Girl
Darla Who
P-Nut
Lula May
Baby Girl
Y.C got cahnged to Stump because she ripped her tail off.
Then we have a bull named Lex Lugar after a wrestler i think.
But the best one i'e had was this big simmi bull named Studly Dooright instead of dudly
