A heifer was born on my birthday so I decided to name her. Although I know many of our cows by their number, it is a little impersonal. There are many cows I love on our farm who I call by their number, 1125, 1305, 1490, 1528... but I think it would be nice to start naming our cows. It may be a little much naming all cows on a 400 head farm, but I think its fun to name our friends :D
I decided to name her Shelly. She is a lovely Holstein (black and white cows see photo below) with nice markings, I think she will grow into a good milking cow. It's always fun to watch our little calves grow into cows, and I'm excited to see what this world will bring little Shelly.
