I'm having the same problem at my place! My new jersey heifer is nameless at the moment. Here's my list of potential names, keep in mind I'm still searching:
Clover Diamond Gem Ruby Petal Daisy Elsie Ladybug, aka Lady Tulip Nellie Lovey Prudence Patience Lily Maggie Mae I already have a "Rosie" and a "Bessie", so those are out. Maybe you can help me with a name! LOL You can see pix of my jersey here http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/sho...d.php?t=187968 |
For a Jersey it has to be Lily - did you know there is a flower the Jersey Lily and also a famous person who was called the Jersey Lily ?
hoggie |
And for a Guernsey it would have to be "Annie". Guernsey people are called "donkeys" and the Guernsey French for donkey is "l'Ane"
hoggie |
Our little Jersey/Dexter heifer"s name is Maggie. She was named by her previous owner. We like to call her Maggie Moo.
|
Manon? (its french...)
|
British Royal Names (not a complete list)
Adela Alice Anne Arabella Beatrice Blanche Caroline Charlotte Diana Eleanor Elizabeth Fergie Helena Jane Louise Matilda Margaret Victoria |
We have 2 jersey heifers, Annabelle and Buttercup,
Some other names we've thought off Tinkerbelle Bonnie Claira Daisy I can't think of them all right now. At one time we named our bull calves by themes Like Disney characters Car parts. Sesame Street. |
cow name
betsy, as in betsy ross
|
My Jersey milk cow is named Isabelle. Her heifer is named Rossyln. The two Jersey heifers I bought this spring are April and Gertrude. My late Jersey was named Beverly.
|
The heifer will tell you her name if you listen closely. :)
|
That's usually how we name the bulls.
Although, the neighbour probably wouldn't like us calling out, Stupid, Dumb-dumb, Ect. |
Yes, my cow has two names-Good Cow and Bad Cow... :p
|
If we are ever lucky enough to have a heifer, she will be "Poppy".
Our two bull calves are: chuck (chuck roast) and Sir Loin |

Quote:
I love Prudence. What about Hughe? Then she would be "Hugh Heifer" |
heres som names i got!
Tigger Max Tiger Jake Max Buddy Smokey Maggie Sam Bear Kitty molly Sassy Bailey Shadow Simba Sam Patch Lady Lucky Sadie Misty Lucky Sammy Rocky Princess Lucy Oreo Daisy Samantha Buster Charlie Casey Boots Cody Oliver Brandy Lucy Duke i hop this helps! :baby04: |
What about Isla - Guernsey is an island right?
Or Sarnia - is the Latin name for Guernsey hoggie |
Belties
Our two Belties are called Tali and Tikka year letter is 'T' and theme is East Indian food.
We wanted a bull, first off so we could eat him, but also so we could call him Tofu- we thought this was a cool name for boy destined to be eaten Now we got two heifers we gotta decide which one to eat. Whoever it is, maybe we'll change her name to "Patty" |
It could be neat to give her a name starting w/ 'A'. Then the next one w/ 'B' etc. I call almost all the milkcows Mama or Bossy. Unless they are being Vile, then I won't tell you what I say. You could just guess. Some of the girls get named for behaviors though, like Stampy and Ding-Dong. Or a cow who had pinkeye, I call her Pinkie.My first heifer was Cupcake. I was 15 and had a whole slew of SWEET names. Buttercup also is good.
|
we have Clarabelle and tinkerbelle, born of Annabelle, daughter of Lulabelle, daughter of Isabelle.......do you see a theme?
ds says the next one will have to be dumbbelle because we are out of names :) |
AND THE NAME SHALL BE.........
Sweet Pea, aka "Sweetie" Thanks y'all for the fun thread :) I'll be asking the same question next time I have a heifer to name! |
