Cows name?

Anonymous-0 · Jul 13, 2008

I know this is a dumb question but what is the name of the animal cow/bull? People, pigs, horses, dogs, rat, and cats all have names.

Cattle? Or are you talking about individuals? We used to name ours after comic strip characters. Now, we raise sheep - each year we advance a letter in the alphabet - Frank, Fred, Frances, Freda, and Fritz this year.... Think I got one more ewe going to present us, so probably need two more "F" names. Any Suggestions? (These so far were aunts and uncles.)

If I read your question correctly, female cattle of breeding age which have calved, cow. Intact male cattle of any age bull. Castrated male cattle of any age, steer. Female cattle from birth to calving, heifer.

You know a cow or bull can be whales. Farm cows are bovine cow?

They are Cattle, females of breeding age are cows, males of breeding age are bulls. The young are calves, females are heifers until they've had their second calf. Castrated bulls are steers until they are two years old then they become oxen if they are kept as draft animals.

A fellow stopped and asked me if I was missing a cow, he had seen one out on the highway. I asked if it was black and white. He said that it was a big brown and white "bull cow". City slickers !!!!!!

First two calves my son was old enough to name, he called Chip and Chuck. So I of course had to get his training started right and called them Chipbeef and Chuck roast.

around here,especially at family gatherings any cow must be positively identified as such before any name calling, a few years ago one of our cows we called elsie was loose in the same pasture we were in, another cow we called bossie was wandering around bellering and making a nussance of herself trying to find elsie, me and my cousin decided to go find the cow so the other would shut up we went down along the creek and came to a brushy area and in there the bushes were trashing about something awfull, we figured we found the cow so we was hollering elsie as loud as we could, here it came, but when it got out of the brush, it wasnt a cow, as such, it was aunt kate, and man was she mad! something about her needing her privacy and us cousins insulting her by calling her a cows name, of course you got to understand aunt kate weighs in around 280 so you can see why we thought we found the cow, if this isnt the truth, well it should be,,lol

Naming them alphabetically will eventually cause problems. We had a cow named Xeno, for that very reason.

We got a Jersey cow from a neighbor. She was about the prettiest cow Dad or I had ever seen- and when anyone familiar with Jerseys saw her, they always commented on how pretty she was. Well, we thought we were paying the neighbor's wife Anne quite a compliment by naming the cow after her- we tried to explain the reasoning, but it was pretty well lost on her- she still took a very dim view of the entire transaction.

my dad used to single his out so we could know which one he was talking about like that white-face cow or them two crazy holstiens or refer to the mans name he bought them from or that gentle cow. you know his system seemed to work

My first calf was white so I named it salt. My second calf was black so I named it pepper.
