Just heard about this a couple days ago. It seems I never hear anything. Go easy for a few days and hopefully you will bounce back. I am just down the road and at the 58 intersection all the time close you, so give me a holler anytime.

I will decode the name - JORDANS KT 600U K69. All my calves start with the farm name (Jordans) and end with their tattoo number - K69 in this case. K is the industry standard code for a 2022 born calf. Tattoo number is sequential - 69 in this case. Just the next calf born after the 68 calf.
The middle of the registered name is actually the "name" of the calf. I generally name the bull calves with the same name as their sire and the heifer calves with the same name as their dam. Sire name is Circle S Leachman 600U. Circle S is the actual breeder of the bull, not Leachman. Jim and Seth Leachman in Montana had a large annual bull sale years ago which included bulls from several cooperator herds. By the time they worked in the Circle S name and the Leachman name, they had run out of space for a real name, so he was known as 600U. Of course, the KT refers to Kenny. So, no real name on the papers. Wide open opportunity to name him.
Here is the link to the online pedigree and epd's. Click the + box on the website 3 times to expand the pedigree to 6 generations. Except for BW, docility and marbling, Kenny's bull has better epd's than his sire, (but lower accuracy of course).

I'd call him KT in a heartbeat... seems fitting...
Damn, are you all coming at once? I may have to rent out a banquet hall.
His ear tag number is 69Ummmm, you know I'm all about giving my bulls salty/questionable names, but at least mine can be repeated in polite company.
I will call him KT.

I named my early bulls after my sister's boyfriends. Jerry, Grant, etc.
Then I had a run of bulls named Tarkus...

Generic name for bulls is "Meathead" but some go by registered name or shortened version or just their number.

We've always called all of our just plain old "Bud."
Growing up, all of ours were called " Blacky". If we ever had one that wasn't Angus, it was called " Bully". My first bottle calf when I was 5 was called Ferdinand, after a bull in a storry book I had. And, there was this one Jeresy bull I bought that was called @%$#!&* the short time I had him!
