Coolest Bit Of Trivia This Year? Reason #45,888 Why I Love To Blog

CLR will name two wells "Hereford" wells and two wells "Buelingo" wells. Of course, I am familiar with Herefords, but the "Buelingo" is new to me. I am truly embarrassed to say that I had seen these cattle often but never thought of asking what they were called. They are very, very distinctive.

From wiki:
The BueLingo breed of beef cattle was developed in Ransom County, North Dakota, on the Bueling Ranch, by Russell Bueling and R. B. Danielson of the Animal Science Department of the North Dakota State University at Fargo. It is similar in appearance to the Dutch Belted breed of dairy cattle. BueLingo cattle usually have a white belt around the stomach area.
The "buelingoes" even have their own web page.

Slawson has a history of selecting awesome names for its wells, as does Samson Oil & Gas. Harold Hamm frequently has interesting names, albeit a bit more subtle.

  1. In our neck of the woods, these are known as "Double Stuf" cattle after the Oreos that they perfectly resemble :-)
