| I like to help out with our local college with their livestock judging. They’ve got a couple kids this year that were a little interesting. Most kids are local here from Colorado, but we had a few from Oklahoma and one from Minnesota. When they were rattling off their findings with different groups, we had to stop the kid from Minnesota and ask him what he was saying on 3 separate occasions during the judging. He was referring to steers as kivs, heifers as KEY-attle a 3-5 year old cows as KEY-ows. One of our older judges asked him why he was using those terms and the kid couldn’t really give us a straight answer. The kid from Oklahoma oddly a friend of his, came up to the panel and introduced himself and said “how it do guys”. It will say I consider our area to be like anywhere else in the western states. Populated more with cattle and sheep than people. But in all my years, I’ve never heard terms like that. Is that more of a regional thing or just kids being kids?

Cattle terminology. Something new?
