number 23

 

The cattle in the herd don't have names because, hopefully, they are a cash crop.  Some have specific identification like No. 23, crooked ear and the crazy black cow but most are just cows.  When my brother, while in high school, bought his first herd Black Angus he named them Jethro, Too Tall, Lilly (remember those Dallas Cowboys?).  It was harder for him then to sell off friends rather than just black cows.
