It's the truth; all herds need a Buttercup!  Sadly we already have ours - an Angus cross, as it happens.

Half-sister is Plenty - BH said, "Two's plenty", so Plenty I called her.  Now he seems happy for me to have another ... and another ...  :D  So if two is Plenty, three is a herd, I should call her Thora, maybe!  :D  (And would do, but I'm not so keen on that name.)

I'm trying to think of a pun on Jersey - all I can come up with is woolly jumper = Sheep...a cow called Sheep...mmm  ::)  I did have a fish called Rover.

How about Rozel from Rozel Bay on Jersey?

I like Rosebud.   :thumbsup:   But for another time...  At the moment, we have a calf named Rosie (Primrose), a pony Rosabel (not her day-to-day name, though) and a Rosie sheep too.  Enough Roses for a while!

I've asked my mum if she'd think it weird or objectionable or nice to have a calf named after her.  If she replies other than the last, I'll be back asking for more suggestions!

The homemade cheesecake and butter has done it for mine, that and the fact that a Jersey can find her way into any mere mortal man's heart...  ;) :love: :cow:

Thanks Sylvia!  My ma is indeed honoured, she says (after she managed to stop ooooo-ing and aaaahhhhh-ing, that is), so Katy she is. :)

I once had a calf named after me and was told I should view it as a great honour.
I'm pleased your Mum feels the same way.
Jersey's are such a beautiful breed as Katy & her proud Mum have proven.
Enjoy this special time  ;D
