How about Buckeye Red?Joe Boy said:
You know I cannot do that. I was at the game when Ohio State beat Texas this year.... being a Texan and all..... I think Red Man is bad.... I call ever bull or boy pup, "Boy." Sometimes I put "Dumb" or "Stupid" in front of it.....
Red Beans might be good, since I think he looks like the bull to put me in the beans.....
Red Star.... he has a star on his face....
Since his granddad on both the dam and sire is Habanero, why not, Red Hot, Red Pepper, or Roho or Colorado.... I think both are Spanish words for red... Red Frijoles.... What do you think?

As to heifer calves, If it were me, I'd try to give 'em the same name as their dams, but include a year code or serial number to distinguish them apart. Ex: ) GM Maggie 235. She was the fourth member of that cow family calved on my place. Just makes it simpler to remember and allows you the ability to make generalized comparisons between cow families. Larger ranches do things this way. Kind of hard to remember off the top of your head who Jiffy's sire and dam are, if you have more than ten head without getting the pedigree out. This is the norm of herds that practice intense line breeding. Bull calves should be given unique names that have a ring to them. Above all, make sure he is worthy of staying sexually intact and out of a fail-safe cow before leaving him a bull. THEN give him a name. 'Til then, he should be just a tag number.

My son's great grandmother gave him the idea when we started out with our registered brahma's of naming them like they did their milk cows. All 5 letter names and starting with one letter. That was fine when you had two cows then as the numbers grew, you couldn't remember their names. REALLY confusing!
We have CK's First Daisy, CK's Dotty, Ck's second Darlin (darla), CK's Mama Molly ( mama cow) CK's Good Golly Miss Dolly (daughter cow), CK's darlin little darcy, CK's Mr. Powercat (go K-state wildcats), Dawn's Manny, and Rascal (CK's Mr. Earl Lee Rascal because he was a month early ???
That's our critters. (cow)

I have seen quiet a few Rock Star steers that are colored. Cathy, the Grand Champion steer at the county fair last year was a roan shorthorn looking rock star calf.red said:That is a really interesting color combination RSC! Thanks for the post. It's funny when they don't come out color-wise they way we expect them too. i'm sure someone like "genes" could give us a really good background on this.

Yes, I think that was the first time a red steer won our county fair!
What about the wild patterened black & white steer at the state fair? That was one loud colored steer!

back in '79 my first steer was to be named "Bullwinkle" after the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, but my dad reminded me he was not a bull, and therefore his name became "Steerwinkle" Continuing to date myself, the 2 steers the next year were Poncho and Lefty. The only memorable one since was "Whoppa", a straight angus home raised steer that was really cool as a baby, unfortunatley, at about 800 lbs became a leg swinger and therefore ended up becoming a Whopper.

Two years ago, we named all the steer calves with "R" names. We had Rocket, Ringo, Rufus, Ralph, Rodney, and Ron. This year we have a heifer named Time to Shine and one named Candy. We bought a bull and the owner let us name him...I named him Magic Man after the Talladega Nights movie....if only we had anoter bull we could name "El Diablo"...we would have the set (lol) Oh and I nearly forgot...my showsteer this year is named Nacho..after Nacho Libre. My sister got bored one day and went out to the pasture and named him as he was taking a nap with his head in her lap...what a baby..
