An insurance company in Michigan is holding a contest to name a steer it saved from someone’s dinner table because of its unique hide.
The pattern on one of its sides resembles Michigan’s Lower Peninsula’s mitten shape, while the pattern on the other side is shaped like a “U.” It was bought last year by Lansing-based Farm Bureau Insurance.
The animal has been called “Michigan.” The Detroit News reports Farm Bureau Insurance wants Michigan residents to come up with a permanent name. The agency will accept entries until May 31, with a $250 top prize.
The animal was from Jacob and Georgia Kessler’s family-run farm in Saginaw County’s Spaulding Township, about 80 miles northwest of Detroit. It was moved to Wolcott Mill Farm Learning Center in Macomb County’s Ray Township outside Detroit.
