"Gayle just hears the word GO and she's grabbing her purse" -Betty B.(my grandmother, aka "Nanny")
I believe that many of you know that three of our longhorn heifers are named after the 3 women in my extended family that rule the roost: Marsha, Gayle, and Kathy.
I was just being silly when I decided to name my cows after my mother, aunt, and cousin. BUT - what I never realized was how they would take on similar traits of their namesakes. I'm serious.
Oh - and for the record, longhorns DO have personalities. And like humans, they have unique personalities. So this is Gayle and she is very social. She will see a human from afar and will make a bee line to you to say hi. I suppose some humans might get a bit nervous if a 1200 pound longhorn comes charging towards you.... But - we know it's just Gayle. And she's just social that way.

I love it! I wish I could meet Gayle in real life!
Hi there! Just when I think you've stopped blogging, you post something! Gayle is a beauty.
Hugs,

Deb- I've been following your blog for quite some time now, even before I signed up as a follower. (Read about you in The Dallas Morning News)Anyway, I love your posts about the longhorns, very beautiful animals. Gayle is way too cool!
She can grab her purse,but hopefully she won't be hopping in the car to go to the mall with you.
I showed this to my 9 yr. old grandson, and he laughed and then wondered if Gayle would let him ride her back? I told him that Texas was a long way to drive for a longhorn ride.
I did some googling and there is an old folk song called "Lavender Blue", why not name call him Blue? He's a beautiful bull.
Very cool - sounds like our cat:)
