# Cowgirl E86B’s Twin Girls Get an Update—and Katie Wants Help Naming Them
A day after Cowgirl E86B delivered twin girls, Katie returned to the barn with a bottle, a close eye on the calf with wrapped legs, and a question for everyone following their story: what should the sisters be named?
One name is already in the running. Katie suggested **Peggy** for the baby wearing leg wraps, then invited fans to think of a matching name beginning with **P** for her sister. It was a lighthearted moment in an update that also showed the care both newborns need in their first days.
The younger twin has been sore and reluctant to stand for long while Katie watches her contracted tendons. Her older sister is active and nursing from their mother, though Katie thinks she is much smaller. Cowgirl, an experienced mother, has been letting Katie help the babies with bottles.
For a family that had just faced a tense second delivery, the sight of two living heifer calves, a caring mother, and a baby eager to drink brought welcome relief. There are still checks ahead, and Katie is taking them one day at a time.
## The Younger Twin Takes Her Bottle
Katie began with the calf born second, just after her sister the day before. This is the baby whose legs were wrapped after Katie noticed she was knuckling over at the ankles. In the new update, Katie said the little girl was sore and did not want to stay standing for long.
The bottle has become an important part of her support. Katie wants the calf to stay hydrated and have enough calories to keep trying to get up while her legs stretch. She offered her milk, pausing when the baby lost focus and encouraging her to keep drinking.
The little girl seemed to know what she wanted. Katie said she loves a good bottle, and the calf drank while Cowgirl let the team work near her. Katie was grateful that the mother allowed them to help her babies.
The leg wraps were still in place and had not twisted. Katie planned to rewrap them the following day rather than disturb wraps that were holding well. She also said they would continue monitoring the calf and stretching her legs as needed. She did not report a final outcome or say the calf was ready to move around normally. This was a baby getting support while she worked toward spending more time on her feet.
Katie was pleased to see her energy up. After the difficult start, the calf needed a full belly and enough comfort to keep trying. Katie’s focus was on helping her stand, seek milk, and rest when she needed to.
## Her Older Sister Is Smaller, but Busy
The other heifer was born first. Katie pointed out that although she is the older sister, she appears much smaller than the calf in the wraps. That was an impression by eye; Katie said the team would find out their actual weights later that day. No measured weights were shared in this update.
The smaller girl had been nursing from Cowgirl, and Katie wanted her to have a share of the bottle as well. Because their mother is feeding two calves, Katie said she had been splitting bottles between the sisters to help make sure each gets enough.
That does not mean Katie has taken both calves away to raise entirely by bottle. The smaller sister was nursing from Cowgirl, while the bottles gave Katie another way to support each baby and watch how she fed.
Those feeding sessions also revealed a little about their personalities. The older sister was interested in milk, but she seemed especially interested in whatever her sibling had at that moment. When one calf had the bottle, the other wanted to get involved. Katie laughed at the familiar sisterly behavior and gently redirected them.
At one point, Katie described the little calf as a menace because she could not seem to decide what she wanted. There was a moment of what Katie jokingly called “nipple confusion,” and another when a sister tried to nurse on her sibling. The barn was full of newborn curiosity and the interruptions that come with caring for two babies at once.
Katie kept working through it. She gave the younger calf what she wanted from the bottle, then saved some for her sister, who had also been nursing from their mother. She checked on each calf individually rather than assuming both girls had eaten enough because Cowgirl was attentive.
## Cowgirl Is Letting the Team Help
For anyone who missed the birth, **Cowgirl** is E86B’s name. Katie addressed viewers who were upset that she had been calling the cow by her number and made a point of sharing it. Cowgirl was born and raised on the farm and is now eight years old.
She is also familiar with raising twins. Katie thinks this may be Cowgirl’s third set, though she was not certain of the count. Katie trusts her as a mother while continuing to watch both calves closely.
Katie described Cowgirl as sweet and said she had been letting them come in to bottle-feed. That cooperation gives Katie room to help the wrapped calf and offer extra milk to her sister while the girls remain with their mother.
Katie spoke to Cowgirl throughout the feeding, praising her and asking to get near a baby when she needed to. A newborn also managed to get manure on Katie, a messy, funny reminder that caring for calves rarely stays tidy for long.
When Katie handled the baby with wrapped legs, she clarified that she was not putting her weight on the calf. Cowgirl’s willingness to let Katie work with her little girl was one of the things Katie appreciated most about the day.
## Why Two Girls Feel So Special
The care update carried a celebration, too. Katie said the farm had never had twin heifers before. They had seen twin bull calves and mixed pairs, but these two little girls were a first for them.
That made the name discussion more exciting. Their mother already had a name full of personality, and Katie wanted the daughters’ names to belong together. She said both should start with P.
Peggy came to mind for the calf wearing wraps. Katie laughed that the little girl looked as if she had two tiny peg legs. She was clear that Peggy was a suggestion she was putting “into the hat,” not a final choice. Her sister still needed a name, and Katie wanted to hear what fans would choose for the pair.
There are plenty of possibilities. **Peggy and Penny** have a cheerful, matching sound. **Peggy and Pearl** would give the sisters distinct names that still feel like a set. **Peggy and Poppy** sound playful enough for two calves already showing different personalities. Fans might also suggest an entirely different P pair.
The names can wait while the calves settle. Katie said she would keep monitoring the little girl’s legs, rewrapping them when needed and helping her stretch. She will also keep checking that both sisters get enough to eat. Their personalities are beginning to emerge, but this update leaves the biggest questions open: how will the wrapped calf do on her feet, and how will both girls grow over the next few days?
## Two Sisters, One Attentive Mama
A day after the twins’ birth, their story has moved from the drama of delivery to the quieter work of daily care. One calf loves her bottle and needs time and support for her legs. The other is smaller, eager for milk, and curious about anything her sister is getting. Cowgirl is close to both and allowing Katie to help.
Katie sounded grateful for that cooperation and encouraged by the wrapped calf’s energy. She did not claim that the leg issue was finished. She planned another check and a new wrap the following day, with updates still to come.
For now, the two girls have a mother watching over them, bottles to share, and fans ready to help choose their names. Katie has offered Peggy as a possibility. The next suggestion might come from someone who has already fallen for the smaller sister.
**What P-name pair would you choose for Cowgirl’s twin heifers? Would you keep Peggy for the calf in wraps, and what would you call her sister?**
