What is your milk cows name?
I just bought a little jersey heifer calf to raise up for our milk cow. I would like to get some ideas on some names. I have a jersey that just turned a year old and I named her Willow. I like cute/unique names but have not thought of 1 yet that would fit her. Thinking 'maybe' Gracie or Button. Let me know what your cows name is...Thanks

I have Ellie, Ruby, Beauty, Midget, Daisy and Ginger. They are all jerseys except for Midget who is no longer a midget.
|
I have a half Jersey half brown swiss I call her Mollymoo...She knows her name and comes running when I call her...Just love that cow!:o

We have Ellie Mae, the grand matriarch of the farm, and her 3 year old daughter Daisy Mae, her month old daughter Lizzy Mae, and Daisy's 1 week old daughter Sally Mae.
|
Since we got her just before Christmas, and she was a very pretty little tan Jersey gal, I named her Holly Berry. Just a little play on words there.
|
our Dexter's name is Ramblin' Rose....we just call her Rose.
|
A beautiful Dexter/Hereford milker is named Ruffles. Her daughter inherited her facial markings. Her name is Lacy.

My Jersey is Annabelle, my dwarf Dexter is Mini Cooper
|
Just sold my first jersey :( and her name was Tinkerbell. We named her daughter Irradessa (fairies off Tinkerbell movie). Then there is Bonnie, Bluebell and Callie (short for California because she is Holstein and looks like the cows of the happy cows commercials!) lol
Good luck! |
Heart, Daisy, Bambi, Lily, Honey, Daphne...we've also had an Angel and an Olive. All Jerseys
|
I love ALL of your replies. Such cute names. Willow,my year old jersey was quiet and easy going and this little one is pretty spunky. She is SO cute.....I have a friend who absolutely LOVES her milk cows and now I know why. We have had beef cows for years but there is just something different about a dairy cow.
|
Miracle Mile maker Molly moo. Molly for short. Her story is as long as her name.
|
Candy. But we are thinking on changing that. We just got her, she's a jersey too.
|
We have Daisy Mae, Elsie Mae, Annabelle, Agnes, Marybelle and this years currently unnamed hiefer calves. Also have the expecting 2yos - Friendly, Pumpkin, BeeBee, Lilly, and Pretty.

"Missy" is my belmont dexter. Her name was Maggie Moo when she came to us, but I was saying things like "Look here, Missy" and it became an endearment that stuck.
Here she is on my blog header: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ON2MalcL8l...ssyMascot1.jpg I need to get out there and take some new ones when she's all mature looking. "Molly Moo Cow" is actually my pyr/aussie shep dog's nickname--- Molly was always underfoot so I started calling her a big, fat cow! |
My own four are named Christine, Lillian, Twister and Bitey Jane. :)
Some of my favorites in the herd that I milk are Layla, Pasha, Ivy, Precious and Mehitabel. :) |
Willow_girl, I'm not sure I want to know the story behind "Bitey Jane," LOL.
|
Bonnie and Heather came already named. Fudge and Dixie were born and named here.
|
I love all the names, and the thought that went into them.
My grandmother always had a milk cow and it was always given the same name, "Bossie". |
My half Jersey half Holstein is named Espresso Bean. A young boy named her. The Jersey I had before her was Sabrina.
|
Right now I have a milk cow named Evie Lee and a jersey/holstein cross named Bonnie. Then a beef cow named Smudge and her daughter Charmin. I've had an Annie, Glory, Sarah and Elenore.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3.../s-bitey-3.jpg I named her when she was one of 125 cows I milked on the dairy farm where I worked ... if I'd known she was going to be mine someday, I might have put more thought into her name. The funny thing is, she's always nomming on me ... I think she feels she has to live up to her name! :pound: Twister came from the same farm, and also was named for her facial markings, which I thought resembled a tornado. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...olstein/tl.jpg |
Can't believe there are no "moochelle's"
|
Jezzy, brie, zanny and miss moo aka devil cow are the milking girls My son named miss moo but everyone else in town calls her the devil cow becasue her horns look like a devil, the others horns are not the same they are jerseys. Other cows are Maggie, Rusty, Dusty, Cuttie Pie, Strawberry Cream, Cinnamon Sugar, Gail, Easter lily, midnight ride, cherry, Elizabeth, Cloe, emily. mandy, toffy, taffy, mallory, Oreo, little girl, holly polly valentine ginger. I think that is all the girls I have names for that I can remember right now it's starting to get confusing when I go out with them and my husband has no idea who is who.
|
I have a mid-sized Jersey named Sally and a miniature Jersey named Clementine. They are both expecting in December and hope to have at least one little heifer that I can name Buttercup. When my grandmother was growing up, her family had a Jersey named Strawberry.
|
I love so many of the names you have listed. I ESPECIALLY love the thought you have all put into them. I still have not named my little jersey. So many of the names you have listed I have named my beef bottle calves or cows in our herd like Daisy Mae,Lucy,Bubba,I could go on and on. Thanks so much for all your great ideas. I think you have to be around them for awile also because personality has to match the name.
|
Our Lucy came named and now we have "Clover" . She was named for a little spotted Jersey (she is one also) in one of the grandchildren's storybooks. They saw her hours after she was born and yelled," it's Clover!" What could we do???? She comes when called and is as friendly as can be.
|
Ok something I do also to get names for my heifers since i have so many.....when someone comes to the farm I name a calf after them....like my niece a moive star came I named the calf RISING STAR....when my sister Patsie came we named one PAT....the other niece became a lawyer ...Justices......My mother in law started us on flowers after she came over Lilly..Tulip.. and a bunch of other flowers...and everytime she came over she want to see each of the calfs we named after her
|
We have Pearl, Bitty, Clarabell, Josie, Hannah, T-Bone (bet you can guess where he will end up), Pete, and my newest bottle babies: Burt & Ernie
|
Last year we went with names from Swamp People for our bottle calves. They were Glenn,Mitchell,Elizabeth, Tommy ,Troy,......
|
A-1, Daisy May, B, Cocoa, Rhett, and Pear. All jersey's and one Jersey Holstein cross. They are so fun to name. And yes they are different than beef cows. Have fun and good luck!!
|
Thelma and Louise, and this years heifer out of Louise is Chick-a-Bee.
|
Biscuit - she came named. Odd but we liked it.
