We always did. Saved on coming up with new names. "Bacon, Pork chop, Ham hock".  Then there were the twin calves, "Tony Baloney and Tommy Salami". 🙂 I've had about a half dozen Taurus's. 

I remember the last hog I had processed. As I lead him off the trailer (Com'on Porkchop). The lady there said, I just can't believe your going to eat your pet.  😄

What's that?

When I think of a Taurus I think of a car manufactured by Ford. When I Google it, I just get pages of results about astrological stuff.

Taurus was just a name for several steers. Taurus being the astrological sign of the bull. Just seemed to fit, especially if they were born in that time of year.

Yes we do or I should say my wife does. If I name them it’s always a food name. Sir Loin, T-Bone, Riblet, Dinner, you get the idea. My wife tends to get cute with them. She named five of our calves after Lonesome Dove characters. Two of our ewes were names Thelma and Louise. Our last ram lamb was named Ramsey. Our two lates calves are Stanley and Stella, bonus points if you can name that movie.
Growing up my daughter wouldn’t eat any animal we named but now that she’s a grown woman raising her own animals it’s no longer a problem for her.

When I had goats, I would name them after the folks I worked with. We hd a high turnover so I never ran outta names. ... One day I asked Rosie if she felt alright? She asked why. I told her that her four legged counterpart passed away the night before. 🙂

Yep. When we had meat chickens and my son was like four or five. We had Baked Chicken. BBQ chicken. Chicken Salad. Chicken Fettucini. Grilled Chicken. Fried Chicken. 

 

You name the dish. We had the chicken especially raised for said event.

    • March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!

      Bob posted a topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support,

      "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!

      Bob posted a topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support,

      Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol. 

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.
