(Word cloud created with Wordle.)
Today is my birthday, so it seemed like an appropriate day to post the poll of polls, the great poll, the Name That Cow poll! This cow is my birthday present from 52. How many people get a cow for their birthday? I think it’s pretty amazing! But I can’t decide on a name. I just can’t! Thank goodness you all had lots of suggestions.
I started out by eliminating the names of people we know (because it would just be weird to call a cow after a name of someone I know) and the names of animals I have, or have had in the past. (Buttercup was a really popular suggestion. I have an angry cat named Buttercup. I don’t think his temperament would be improved by having to share his name with a cow.) Then I employed Morgan and 52 to help me whittle the remaining list down as much as we could and now it’s up to you. This poll will close Tuesday night and we’ll know her name!
[poll id=”16″]
And tell me what is the strangest thing you ever got for your birthday? Have you ever gotten a cow????
Melanie Burbage says:
I like Nellie!
May never have gotten a cow..lol but I have gotten DIRT! Yes, lovely bags of dirt 🙂 My husband always forgets my bday, so weeks after while I am deeling with seedlings & mapping my garden out, he arrives and hauls bags of dirt out of his car just for me! Everyone I know raises a brow , but it’s one of the sweetest things he’s ever done. I get dirt & I love it. Last year he tossed Seeds at me after he piled the dirt all up!! Talk about a bonus!
It’s still not a cow though….haha 🙂

Happy Birthday to you!! What a pleasure it has been to read your blog for the last few months, you are a delight to behold! I chose Beulah for the cow’s name because of the wonderful rodeo woman I knew named Beulah that was still riding horses at age 80 and picking up eggs from her chickens in the road and bringing them into town to me “au natural” (the eggs, not Beulah!). She was one unique independent woman, who really knew her cows. 🙂 Also, the strangest thing I have ever gotten for a birthday present was an umbrella. Needed one for the patio table so got one for my birthday (had it for about 10 years).

12 gauge shotgun from my father for a 16th birthday present. He wanted it for himself and needed an excuse to buy it. I never used it once. Not a hunter. He kept the gun and used it. And yes he was strange, why do you ask? LOL

Can’t think of anything too odd for my birthday. Long ago I started saying “no presents, really I mean it” because I guess people were giving me goofy things.
I think Beulah is a spectacular name for your cow. I think no matter what you name her, I’ll always think of her as Beautiful Beulah!
Happy birthday again! You will probably get thousands of birthday wishes today — how cool is that!

As a matter of fact, I got “TWO” cows for my 68th or 67th (would have to look it up!) birthday. We went to look at a Milking
Shorthorn and my husband fell in love with her daughter who was half grown. He said I want them both….so we bought both. I was lucky they were registered and were pre-named, the cow is Willow and her daughter is Annabelle. I love, love having a milk cow. Her daughter is now with our Black Angus bull so this fall she will be having a baby if all goes well.
I can give you tips on how not to milk twice a day every single day…..which I did not want to do for just the two of us.
I milk maybe three times a week or more if I want to and just in the mornings.
We are retired from a small Holstein dairy so I knew what I was getting into.
Happy Birthday! I hope you bring your present home soon and we get to enjoy the joys and tribulations of owning a milk cow with you. Trust me, you will have some entertaining moments ahead.

I voted for Petunia and the method of my madness is that you can then begin naming animals after flowers – sort of like the sodas you did with the goats. Just a thought!

I didn’t (and still don’t) consider it strange at all, but I got my first goat for my 13th birthday. My birthday is the end of August, which is right around our County Fair time, and there were the sweet goats to see, and the Doe with the sweet kids, and there she was!
I voted for Beulah because it’s got such character and she seems like such a dignified girl. Gotta go with Beulah!

Strangest present …. my brother gave me his used VCR (3mths of use). Apparently he wanted a new one, and I didn’t need one :roll:.
Last night was his birthday dinner … I gave him sun-glasses … his own 😆 . He had left them at the house yesterday afternoon.
Whatever name your cow gets … I hope she is a sweetie after she gets settled.

I love that you received a cow for your birthday…a wonderful gift for sure. I have been thinking of getting one for our farm, but milking in Minnesota in the winter is deterring me. But I love the idea of trying to become more self-sustaining.
I had a calf named after me by my bff, because the calf was born with a valentine spot on her forehead.
My strangest gift was a set of floormats for my car one year, from my now-ex husband. That isn’t why he’s an ex, though!

Happy Birthday Suzanne!
I vote for “Millie”…sorta like a sweet milk mill…LOL
Petunia…not quite colorful enough,but smells sweet just the same!
Bessie…no offence but a little trite..lots of cows named Bessie..
Nellie…reminds me of a horse..like in..”Whoa, Nellie”! LOL
Helga…Well,could be..her ear hair is long enough for plating little pigtails with tiny blue and white bows…not..is she German!
Isabella…a name too mysterious for a sweet face..
Beulah…I know she is an older cow…but not that old!
I got a troy-built roto-tiller and loved it one December year for my birthday and tnen followed for my anniversary in April…
Four roses….not the kind you drink…the kind you plant with the help of my new roto-tiller….Best presents ever…

On the naming of your cow – whatever you and/or 52 think is best really IS best! All the names would work, but BEULAH just seems to fit. Different enough to be interesting, but not in a goofy, odd sort of way. I like it!
Strange gift? Nothing is strange if you want or need it! (Although, getting one’s own sunglasses as a gift is pretty close! 8) )

farmershae says:
I think Buelah is my favorite (I can see you out there calling for her..BuuuuuuuuuuuuuLAH! but I chose Petunia so you could start a flower trend for her offspring. I am so happy you are going to have a supply of milk! Don’t forget – after making the butter to use the buttermilk to make buttermilk biscuits….yum.
I got a nice big vice last year for my workshop. I may be a girl, but I love my tools and toys! :airkiss:

What a neat birthday present! I voted for “Millie” (I’m biased as I was one of those who suggested the name). Since it’s milk she produces, Millie seemed the perfect name for her. I hope you have gallons and gallons of milk to make your wonderful recipes with. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!!1
I have not received a cow for my birthday. I did deliver a calf when I was a teenager. She was stuck. She was a very naughty cow in her teen years. She also got herself stuck by the utter in a barbed wire fence trying to jump out to freedom. To bad for her because she ended up in our freezer.
Have a great day.

I know it is trite, but it is tried and true. It fits so well and feels so comfortable. I think she will like it. Like being named for women down through the generations before us gives us a sense of belonging and coziness.

A cow is a great birthday present…just like getting the dog was a great Mother’s day gift (last year, I think). Boomer turned out to be a nice pet. One year my husband built me a shelf for my birthday. I guess that’s not too strange. What about the year my husband gave me an Easter basket…put all the chocolate, etc. into a dustpan, because we needed a dustpan at the time

Happy Belated Birthday… I’m coveting your BD present so much. I want a cow too! They’re expensive though… someday. My weirdest birthday present was from my ex-husband (emphasis on the “ex”). He one time got me an ab roller (a cheap one too!) from a garage sale for $5.00. The sad part of it was, he was so proud of himself for getting such a good deal on a piece of junk!

I voted for Nellie, because then you could always be saying “Whoooaaaaa Neelllliiiieeee” which would make me smile every time I said it. The wierdest birthday present I ever got was a box of dirt from my mom. Which had mushroom spawn in it that you could stir up and water and keep misted and it grew a bunch of really great button mushrooms and started a HUGE interest in growing mushrooms for me. But at the time – I was like, Mom? a box of dirt? really? could you be more wierd? But y’know – Mom always knew best. I just never would admit it at the time.

Do you make the old fashioned apple butter like in years past? I still make it but sorry to say, now I must do it in my oven as Fairmont where I live just doesn’t like open fires in the front yard with a big bubbling kettle with a big bubbling kettle hanging over it! OH DARN!!! Would be so much fun…especially when all my friends wanted to come around… Would put them to work..
