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!
