Let's hope that's not the case as well. ;)The farmers I've known name most of the animals on their farms, except for the animals in the larger herds. The small amounts of geese, hog, chickens, calves, sheep, etc. had names, even the ones slated for the chopping block. It wasn't uncommon to ask, "What's for dinner?" and get "Ethel" as the reply. ;) You just grow up understanding that this pet you have named isn't going to be around long, even if you get attached to it.

I know you're just being silly and making a joke about the cows possibly being housepets (barns are bad enough to clean out. Imagine the horror of trying to clean up the carpet ;) ), but I just wanted to chime in anyway on this.
