Had a cow named BFS Maggie, and bred her to a bull called MM Magnum ( Mary Kaye full sib), got a bull I called "Hi-Mag", after the minerals used in the springtime here. She had another bull calf that was so long that i called him " Well Rope". Heifers are all given the cow fanily names (Joy Maids, Mayflowers, Rose bloom, Augusta Bloom, etc.) , and, are distinguished only by year codes and sire name abbreviations. Keeps my cow families and pedigree info easier to keep track of, wish other Shorthorn Breeders would do the same. Anymore, I can't go to a State sale, and tell what's what from whodunnit, without researching the extended pedigree online before the sale!
