Cow watch is over...YEAH!!!
True to form, the heifer waited until a cold front and 40 mph winds to be up all night in labor. But we know have a beautiful dun Irish Dexter heifer to show for it. She is such good quality that I may end up keeping her...now we need a good Celtic name for the girl...

Finally! That norther was a long time in arriving. 
Okay, how about these Celtic names:
Maebh, which means Celtic Queen
Kentigearna, which means Chieftainess
Meghan, which means little Margaret
Wenda, which means Gwendolyn
Odhrán means dun-colored, and Imar means one who is, so:
Imar Odhrán would presumably mean one who is dun-colored, but I'm not sure if that is suitable for a female name.
Hugs,
Tex

She's beautiful...I'm not a rancher so I have to ask, is it normal for calves to be born as we head into winter?
How about Nimue, the Celtic moon goddess? (I believe it's pronounced Nim-you-ay.)
or
Anu, the greatest of all Irish goddesses, deity of cattle, health, fertility, prosperity, and comfort.
Health, cattle...seems appropriate.
(When I joined a health board, it didn't occur to me that my first post would be about cattle!)

Sunshine. We're glad you found us.Sunshine,
It's good to see you posting. Welcome aboard.
Normally, production ranchers try to schedule cattle births in the winter, so that by the time the calves are old enough to graze, there will fresh spring forage coming on, and that way the animals will get the maximum benefit out of the forage growing season. For special purpose livestock, other reasons may influence the decision on optimum calving time.
Any rancher can tell you that cows will almost always pick the absolute worst spell of weather that they possibly can, for going into labor. I'm not sure why that happens, maybe the added stress triggers it, or maybe it's a primal instinct regarding predators or something else. Maybe someone else knows why - I've never researched the reasons.
Those are good name suggestions.
I hope your MC is under control.

She is Beautiful!!
Cow (Bo): Once so important to the Celts that it was considered a form of currency or monetary exchange. Ancient Irish lords were known as bo-aire or cow-lord. The cow was sacred to the Goddess Brigit. The cow symbolizes contentedness, defending the inner child, and providing for daily needs.
So, I would have to suggest, Brigit ~
My grandson is here, and would like to suggest, Maggie Moo ~ Actually I think I like his better

Maggie Moo is kind of catchy, all right. Or, you could use the Celtic version of Maggie, which I believe is spelled Maggidh.

Hi sunshine...
Angy ;)
Thanks for all the great idea's...I'm leaning toward Nimue, that would be very fitting, since her Grandsire was named Coran ( Celtic for Crescent Moon ) after our ranch..Crescent Moon Ranch..He was our first Dexter, that would be cool to honor the moon theme again...I love Megan, but we already have two of those at the ranch...one cow and one rescue dog..both came with the names, and yes it gets confusing when I'm in the pasture, yell Megan and both the cow and the dog in the yard come running... 
And Keaton the whippet's mother is named Bridgit so that one is off the list too..The problem with having Celtic cattle and Celtic named showdogs...coming up with names... 
Welcome Sunshine!!! And yes, Dee, I'll be trying to make it to the chat..hopefully both Rick and I can catch up on some lost sleep by then.Rick is doing pretty well, we are still figuring out problem foods, I made the pumpkin custard for him using honey instead of sugar ( sugar seems to be a major problem, but he does honey and agave nectar fine ) and he absolutely loves it. Thanks so much for posting it for us, you are my Kitchen Hero!!!
Hope to be back to visit more often, now that this kid is on the ground. Looking forward to talking with you at the chat..
Hugs,
Carrie
