Hmmm… And not a “Bob” in the bunch. Errr…I mean herd.
We couldn’t hardly do that…“Bob” was what my father-in-law was called.
Usually, folks don’t name animals they eat. Maybe the other cows are dairy cows.
Not ours, all beef cattle- angus,charolais, black baldies(angusXhereford), a very few hereford and the one or two dairy cows. We didn’t eat the cows-they were for makin’ calves. We did butcher a two year old bull once. He had no name and was very tasty.
Betsy.
Now that’s a great cow name! 
Well, then.
I’ll see if I can get them to name her Betsy in honor of Cowtime.
I won’t mention Cowtime. I’ll just tell them I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I think they should name their cow Betsy.
Best wishes,
Jerry
I always wanted a cow named Tbone. I s’pose that’s to pretentious.
Our chickens are all named “McNugget”…just to keep things in perspective. 
Once some of the hens start laying (thus earning the right not to go in the freezer) we might give them real names. Our oldest hen (currently known as McNugget 1) is black with gold dreadlocks. So she might well end up as a “Bob.”

Well, OK.
You’ve got my attention. Would you please tell me the rest of the limerick?
Best wishes,

we once had a betta named bob
his fishbowl was kept by the doorknob
and when he’d awaken
his master was naked
and he’d hide in his castle and sob

The Schwartzentruper’s Jersey cow is now named Betsy.
I found Ezra, his brother Peter and another Amish man I didn’t recognize sitting around the dropfront secretary desk in the large room of the house. Ezra was smoking his pipe.
I asked Ezra if he thought it would be OK to name the cow Betsy.
He asked, “Why do you want to name her Betsy?”
I said, “I think Betsy would be a good name for her. Can we name her Betsy?”
He said, “I don’t care what we call her. It doesn’t matter what you call an animal.”
I said, “It sounds like you don’t lie awake at night worrying that you’ve given your animals the wrong names.”
They laughed.
I said, “OK. I’ll name her Betsy. And I won’t charge you anything. In fact, I’ll name any animal you need to have named, and I won’t charge you for it.”
They laughed. Peter said, “Maybe you could name my calf.”
OK …
What shall we name Peter’s calf? (I may see him again either tomorrow or Wednesday. If I do, I’ll find out more about the calf; at least what breed she is.)
Best wishes,
Jerry

Rats, I didn’t respond in time.
I was going to suggest she be named Mrs. Droopy Drawers… on second thought, maybe that’s not such a good cow name… Betsy is a great name! 
You do know that Betsy is Cowtimes name…real name..don’t ye?
Ye do now 
Slan,
D. 
Cool! I am glad she isn’t named mrs. droopy drawers either… 
They have cows in New York?
She’s cool, hot and hip.
Wish my granny was.

Not to worry, I’ve forgotten it already.
I liked Moo as the name, but then I call the family dog Woof.
I call mine “Dog Head”
I call mine Squeegee… not exactly certain why.
