If you have been reading my blog, then you know we just had a new calf born on Saturday. This calf is a bull calf, meaning he is a little boy. He is half jersey and half angus. He has a tiny white spot on his forehead and a larger white spot on one knee. He will become meat in our freezer in about 18 months. With all that in mind, I am looking for name suggestions for him. I am not sure what the prize will be yet, but I will let you know. The other calves on the farm right now are Texas T-Bone, Sir Loin of Beef and Bullseye. So, those names will not be allowed. Use your thinking caps and be creative. Just know that it is easier to eat T-Bone, then Little Buttercup. =) The final approval will come from my husband. Leave your suggestion in the comments section.
FERDINAND so when you take it out of the freezer you can have "Ferd-burgers"!
ReplyDeleteI like Ferdinand. My suggestion is Stroganoff.
ReplyDeleteHow about... Phil A. Mignon ... Sloppy Joe..or..Meat Head.
ReplyDeleteOOPS, Sorry that is me. Bonnie

How about Rib Eye, Porter or Blackie? Hmm... I will have to keep thinking. Our neighbors have quite a herd - but I don't think they name them!
ReplyDeleteStu Beef! He is soooooo cute I want to call him Moses but will stick to Stu since you want to eat him.
ReplyDeleteDearest Marci, Darling,
ReplyDeleteHow about "Baby Back Ribs". And for my prize, I want a cherry tomato plant. LOL!
In Christ,
Mrs. M.
How about something simple like "Spot"--or the German version (der)"Fleck".
ReplyDeleteWe just finished eating "Herman". He was about 2 foot taller than the rest of the calves since he was holstein/angus. Herman from the Munsters just suited him.
Here's one he will probably live up to and you will probably call him once or twice, at least. Stupid calf! LOL..

I love the name Ferdinand, Marci!
ReplyDeleteKelli
I have thought of a couple of more: Chuck (as in chuck roast or ground chuck); Hamburger Patrick (call him Hamburger Patty for short); Tips (as in beef tips).
ReplyDeleteMarci, I like our neighbor's name for their beef cow -- "Mooey"!
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard of the one cow's name was Bull's Eye it made me the of our state's nickname Buckeye. I know he's not a deer but anyway.
ReplyDeletegizmo, dakota, freddie, buckie are a few...
ReplyDeleteOkay, the girls and I discussed it and came up with:
ReplyDeleteBurger King
Dinner
Junior Burger
KC (as KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce)
Well, I think that is it.

ReplyDeleteJER FROM JERSEY AND GUS FROM ANGUS
SUZETTE FROM AR
Marci..I blame everything on these medications..LOL..my sick sense of humor says to name the calf after the famous St. Louis Cardinal baseball Hall of Famer, "Enos Slaughter".
ReplyDeleteStanley,Rockie,Fester,Hunk, Stu(as in Stue,Stew)?

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say how much I envy your farm life. That is the life that I would have loved to have. But alas, life got in the way.
RC says fudge, KC says Mac as in "Big Mac", JDC says Beef, We all liked "Beef on the Run"(instead of a bun) HA HA
