When I was five years old, I went to my grandfather and told him I had given all of his pigs names. I was pretty proud of myself and kind of shocked when he shook his head and said, "We don't name the pigs."

"Why not?"

"We never give something a name that we're going to eat later."

(Imagine my big-eyed look.) That conversation has always stuck with me.

We told my grandson that about a steer we had at the house to finish...he named him anyway- Yummy Yummy.
