(the first letter of the bull's name would be the first letter of his heifer's name and the first name of the cow would be the middle name)<BR/><BR/>If Betty May was then bred to a bull named Karl, her heifer would be named something like Kate Betty Stoneyfield. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how a bull calf would best be named, but a calf out of Bob and Mary might be named Bill M. Stoneyfield. (again using the first letter of the bull in the calf's name, but only using the first letter of the cows name so the other calves don't make fun of him because he has a girl's name)Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412944120622315804noreply@blogger.com
