Baymule's Lambs, 2nd Lambing

[luvmypets]

Btw Bay, love the names for your sheep! My brother and dad would probably hit me if I used any sort of pun to name our lambs

 

[TAH]

My ewes are named Ewe-nique (due now?) Miranda Lambert (lambed this morning) Lady Baa-Baa, Lily (Lady Baa-Baa's lamb from January 2016) and Snowflake (Miranda's lamb from January 2016) The ram's name is Prince.

I name some of my chickens too. I have Robin, Dottie, Stupid Chicken, Beard-O (Ameraucana with muffs) Bless You the rooster, Rose, Elsa and the Delawares are known collectively as Mean Girls.

Love the names! We don't name poultry... Except Brewster the rooster (who is never just called Brewster) and our tom turkey Gobbles (yeah original but he came with that name).

I feel like my livestock names are way boring compared to yours!

I've been promised I can name some piglets Hogwarts and Hamlet

I named a couple of steers many years ago and when it came time to butcher, I wound up selling them instead. My favorite ewes now are 133 and No Tag. Tar Baby (spotted face) isn't too far off from the favorites.

That will probably change but for now it works.

Sold because you were too attached? Our pigs are named after states. The ones we keep as breeders are states we like the best, lol.

Those steers were like puppy dogs and followed me all around. There is more to that story. My neighbor bought two at the same sale and a year and a half later, he had the same problem I did. We solved that by me swapping him two of mine for two of his. I didn't have a problem processing and eating his and the same for him.

That was 40 years ago so a lot of water under the bridge since then.

I wish I was as creative as you with names.

I try to be.

I'm terrible at it.

That was perfect, you and that neighbor should have done that frequently! Lol. Cows are hard, you just keep them for so long before butchering.
