The only other company that I know of, and have used in the past, is Bucks County.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627331970475847610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-71970562752743037662009-09-04T14:00:25.354-05:002009-09-04T14:00:25.354-05:00At The Farm, there's been a steady progression...At The Farm, there's been a steady progression of steers named 'Fil.' I think they're up to 'Fil the Sixth,' now. Fil, for Filet Mignon, of course. Everyone who hears of Fil knows his fate from his name, but yeah, it is more dignified.MaskedManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847118110075039840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-43351854355507044252009-09-03T08:06:58.494-05:002009-09-03T08:06:58.494-05:00I'd never thought about the dignity aspect of ...I'd never thought about the dignity aspect of naming food animals. Good idea. We name the pigs only because it's too hard to keep describing them every time you want to talk about them. My favorite pig names were Chop and Suey.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-70114927129942988912009-09-03T07:53:02.143-05:002009-09-03T07:53:02.143-05:00Aunt Deb,

(That what we did with the cows at UNH) we had A-1, Porkchop, and BeefCake.<br /><br />I think there was one also named Spam! It helps keep distance but also gives them a bit of dignity.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091020832179128649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-91653397066877369842009-09-03T07:42:25.454-05:002009-09-03T07:42:25.454-05:00I didn't know that was something I could reque...I didn't know that was something I could request. I was hoping there would be cleaning instructions in the box, but nothing. I was thinking that I should call them and ask how they should be cleaned, so I can tell people who buy them. I'll definitely request washable next time!Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-27664351264880288752009-09-03T07:24:07.535-05:002009-09-03T07:24:07.535-05:00It's great to hear that Sterns is FINALLY send...It's great to hear that Sterns is FINALLY sending out some pelts. They tanned a few for me before the fire, and they turned out beautiful. Did you request washable pelts? I sent in about a dozen more last year and am hoping to get them back before Christmas.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15753492768167506462noreply@blogger.com
