When we had an Old MacDonalds' kind of farm, we named a lot of animals. Beef cattle were Burger King, Miss Steak, Shiska Bob, T-Bone, Sir Loin, Chuck. Pigs were not named as often, but the best pig names I ever came up with were for a male and female we raised together. They became Hamsel and Griddle. Others were more common names like Pork Chop. The only chicken that ever had a name was a little banty we called the Little Red Hen.
My neighbor had a cow they called Wild Lass, a good looking crossbred beef cow who seemed to be a bit high headed and snorty as a weanling. She went over or through fences, ran over people and un-endeared herself to everyone. Then they dropped the L. She went to the auction. Her daughter was becoming just like her as a yearling, and graduated to the freezer where she behaved herself at last.
