Of course cows have horns, Kevin.

In fact, if you'd like a short tuturial on hornsmithing I'd be glad to provide it. That's one of the things I do as an "experimental archeologist."

Horn was the plastic of the 18th century. In addition to powder and drinking horns, it was used to make flatware, salt cellers, buttons, and numerous other products.

The structure of horn is dependent on several things, including breed of cattle and gender. Dairy cows have better horn then beef cattle. Steers have the worst. And cow horns are better than bull horns.

How much more would you like to know? :p

I love my buttter dishes - I have several - the traditional butter stick holder of which I have several, the round ones for my homemade butters, and then of course my BUTTER DISH which is a covered bowl that holds at least 2 lbs. butter.

I have two butter dishes. One of my butter dishes is all clear glass with a dome over it. I had it a long time can't even remember where I got it.:rolleyes: I have a Christmas butter dish I got at K-Mart and it holds up to two butter sticks. It's white with poinsettia's on it. It's cute. Cookie :) I love dishes but paper plates are cool to.:D Cookie :)

I have this piece of rectangular plastic that my stick butter sits on. Works great. I use an old butter tub to hold the stick butter that I have whipped to double its size.
