Related to poker. The blue chips tended to carry the highest value.

I agree with gardengal

Cow chip stocks just didn't have broad appeal.

They are named after blue corn tortilla chips

speaking of cow chips...one of our Hereford cows had a calf yesterday! woohoo!

Congratulations LoneJack! You're a new grandparent!

You're a new grandparent!

And a moo grandparent, as well 😀

Could we please have a picture of your new calf?

Thanks all! Lucille, I'll try to get a picture of it soon. My smart phone died and I haven't replaced it yet. Currently using an old flip phone with no internet.

I haven't even seen the calf yet, don't even know if it's a heifer or a bull. My ranching partner called me last night to give me the good news. We should have 2 more on the way soon as well.

just a blue chip off the block ... grats!

don't name it ...

Agree with gardengal. My dad used to be in a poker group beck in the 50s and when they played at our house it was fun to watch, even though we were heading to bed and away from the game. He played with us using m&ms-no blue ones then. I still have his old boxes of chips-well did. The boxes finally fell apart.

don't name it ...

Mr. T-bone? It's safe if it is a heifer as long as she keeps making more calves.

Poker chip....blue = high dollar
