I don't know whether to be happy, offended or hungry...

We had 2 pigs named bacon and pork chop.

As this is our first calf born here, we will probably just sell him when he gets grown....

BTW - We had a few steaks on the grill last night from 'ol T-bone....

He sure was a fine fellow...

No offense...

I always wanted a pig so I could name it Kosher, that way no one eats Kosher.

Looks like the cow has a bit of Milking Shorthorn in her.  I admire your quiet neighborhood.

although she remained small, she gave quite an ammount of meat (small but VERY bulky)
