Or as I would tell my husband # 25H and #25I

We always had themes but yes we have had 5 barn cats over the years named Toby. . . Toby, Toby J, Toby Sr., Not Toby and feauxtoby. Technically Feauxtoby wasn't a toby but he looked just like him but Skinner.

One doe all kids named after spices, another all Italian names etc.

Good luck naming them 443 and 444!

Lol pretty much. Most of our cows are now numbers. Ive done good with the goats and names since they look different and I don’t have so many but I can never remember what my daughter named the alpines so I call them the light alpine and the dark alpine. But hey as long as they have their own unique ID for record book keeping that’s all that matters

🤣 numbers are so much cheaper to get printed on tags. Names are so difficult to remember.

Well most of our chickens follow "B" . Blommie, Bloom, Bubbles, Beast and Bekkie. Then there are flowers. Petunia, Lavender and Daisy. And the Rooster is Chris.
My goats are Gizmo and Destiny based on their circumstance.
The rescues are given names from where they come.

All our animals have names. But after 16 years of naming animals and having 8 kids, most of who are either married and starting a family or will and so now have to make sure all names I choose are not future grandkids names 😅

We called the sheep by numbers for the adult ones when we got them and then the lambs got names. Never called the goats by numbers. Just would always kid the husband about just having 25 even if it was 35 . . . So mulitple 25s we had lol

Once named our boer nubian cross kids by the name of my hay guy and his wife. He later bought the doeling because he needed a tame goat to help make his current brush goats friendly. When we got her their then told Rita her name was Rita lol.

I know this thread is from a couple months ago but I wanted to join in on the fun and see if I can remember all of our past and present goats and their names.

Baerley, Briar Boy, Daisy, Fern, Flossie, Dottie, Billy, Nellie, Willie, Buckwheat, Mocha, Pretty Purse, Ivy, Tulip, Jr., Sissy, Chocolate, Jim, Sweet Pea, Handsome, Rut, Sweetie, Princess, Lillie, Chubby, Cindy, Luke, Leia, Kristoff, Tex, Rex, Polka-Dot, Charlie Brown, Lucy Lou, Sally Sue, Stinky#1, Tuke, Domino.
My current goats are Sukey, Heidi, Heath Barkley, Audra Barkley, Andi Carter, and Bobby Manning. We’ve had lots more but I either can’t remember their names or they didn’t actually have one because we didn’t have them very long.
