Meet an exceptional cow called No Name, a 16-year-old Droughtmaster who has just dropped her 13th calf.

How do we know? Her owners, Jenny and Roger Underwood of Pine Hills, Wallumbilla, in southern Queensland posted a proud birth notice on Facebook.

Cow keeps on giving

We are very pleased to announce the much anticipated arrival of "Whassa", a darling heifer calf born to mother "No Name" and father "Unnamed" at lunchtime on Saturday 26 August. Mother and daughter are doing well.

Like the song, No Name, has a story too.

Ms Underwood described No Name as a cow who kept on giving.

She was born in drought at Eversleigh, south of Hughenden, and each year, regardless of the conditions, had produced a calf.

"When she was a young heifer, we just couldn't think of a name," Ms Underwood said.

"We heard the song Horses With No Name and that's how we named her.

"She is an excellent commercial cow and just keeps popping out a calf each year [and] she brings a smile to our faces every time we see her."

Fertile cow has special place in hearts

Ms Underwood is not claiming any records but she said No Name had a special place in her heart.

"I know that there are probably some other cows equal to, or better, but considering what she has gone through...," she said.

"I think she has seen more droughts than good times, so to get this calf on the ground is pretty good, we reckon."

Regarding the name of the new heifer calf, Ms Underwood said it was currently following the tradition of its dam and sire.

"We tried to stick to a theme," Ms Underwood said.

"Male calves are called 'horse' after the song and this one is going to be called Whassa because so many people ask: 'What's her name?'"

Drought bites

More than two thirds of Queensland is still in drought and Ms Underwood said while conditions were far worse in other parts of the state they had earmarked No Name for sale — until they realised she had just got in calf.

"She just comes up pregnant every time we preg test her or she has a calf at foot," Ms Underwood said.
