A newborn calf, a Charolais breed of taurine beef cattle, burst into the world last week with a broken front leg on a 170-acre farm in Trafalgar.

Eighty-year-old Forest "Hink" Albertson immediately started getting suggestions for names from his 15 adult grandchildren.

But one name, well, one name stood out to this patriarch of a basketball family who loves all things Indiana University, Indiana Pacers, orange ball and hardwood.

"Look at me grandpa," P. Ashley Walden said to Albertson, as she was ready to announce her pick for a name. "Victor OlaBeefo."

Albertson put his hands over his face and started shaking his head back and forth.

"That's good," he said. "That's really good."

And so, OlaBeefo it was.

Standing in his pen Thursday, an old basketball hoop hanging in the background, OlaBeefo was drinking from a bottle and getting stronger by the minute.

His injury, of course, is a bit different than the real Pacers' Victor Oladipo, who tore his right quad on Jan. 23 in a game against the Raptors.

OlaBeefo's injury is to his left front leg. And he suffered it during birth. OlaBeefo was especially big -- NBA style -- and that can sometimes cause troublesome births.

Walden's husband, Steve Owens, and their son, Cooper, were there to help Albertson get OlaBeefo in a safe place last week after he was born.

Now, the calf is being pampered. On Thursday, he was fitted with a new Pacers' yellow cast.

OlaBeefo is not the first calf born to Albertson and his wife, Pat, with a basketball-related name.

When Oladipo was playing for IU in the Big 10 tournament, twin calves were born on the farm, one white and one red. Walden, who went to IU and now lives in Franklin, and her sister were there. They named them Cream and Crimson.
