Finally - I am so excited

Well we had a calf today and finally we got a red and white lineback heifer - Whoo hoo! We have been hoping to get one for awhile now. I don't have a picture because they brought her down when I was milking. Now what to name her?

When the cows get names I try to make their name rhyme with their mothers or somehow related to their mothers name. I just don't remember things like I used to so I need some cheats to help me out. Like this calf, her mother is Tomato, her sister Ketchup and her grandma was Hamburger. Maybe she will have to be sesame seed or something. We have Purdy who had Gertie, Birdie and Fergie. Annie had Fannie, Molly had Dolly then there is Cookie who had Crumbs and Chocolate Chip, Baby Cakes had Twinkie and so on. Sometimes we also name them for the time they were born. We have Kringle and Mistletoe, Valerie(valentines) and Geri because she was born on labor day and the first thing that popped in my head was the Jerry Lewis telethon. Then sometimes the names are just random like my son named an almost all black holstein Casper, who would have guessed. We also have Thelma and Louise because they were inseperable when they were little.

It was sleeting and snowing tonight,Blah! It is hard to believe that tomorrow is going to be so nice after this kind of weather but it is supposed to be. Well want to get some of the housework done so I don't have to spend any time indoors tomorrow.
