Eggnog on the shelf, and Name That Calf

I came to work this morning, greeted by the smell of eggnog in the processor. It was a long stretch, waiting for it to be bottled, so I could sample it. Delicious! As the holidays approach, we hope to be offering eggnog on a fairly regular basis. Be watching for it in the dairy store and in the stores that distribute Iwig milk.

Now, we need your help. Whenever a calf is born, we refer to the first letter of the mother's name to guide our selection of the calf's name, so it is easier to track the family lines. Today, Holleen had a heifer calf. We are asking YOUR help in selecting a name for her. The options are "Holly" and "Hillary." What do YOU think? Cast your vote for the name of our newest baby!
