He did not wish to consider any of the submitted names and said that the cow should be named &#8220;Brett&#8221;.  Brett is Mark&#8217;s favorite bear.  So not only is that name taken, but we would have ended up with no winner or the I guess the judge would have been the winner which doesn&#8217;t seem right.  I am sure this would have resulted in a fraud lawsuit of some kind and that&#8217;s the last thing I need.  An alternate method was decided upon &#8211; that of a blind drawing.<\/p>\n<p>To make things fair, if there was more than one suggestion per comment, the first one listed was chosen.
