They were bought at a stand at a large farmer's market in Lancaster County, PA. The stand was a permanent fixture. They mainly sold wooden furniture (like benches, chairs, tables), weathervanes (with and without Breyers) and Breyer models. The weathervanes were pre-assembled so I never knew who made them until I just read your blog post. <br /><br />None of the Breyers sold individually had holes drilled in them, and they were all unboxed. One day we stopped by, and they had a Duroc hog, so I snapped it up. The man said he could order other hogs if I wanted, and that's when the order form appeared. It had the whole breyer line plus Hampshire hog, Poland China hog, Duroc hog, another hog (can't remember), Simmental bull, Shorthorn bull, Guensey cow, Jersey cow and Brown Swiss. <br /><br />I ordered all of the "non-standard" animals and picked them up a couple weeks later. The hog breed I can't remember turned out to be a regular Jasper (Jasper was also listed separately on the order form). The stand was still in operation in 1988 when I picked up another Poland China and a collector friend I was with also picked one up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435529786828078091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-90903490847612877632010-08-03T14:17:36.372-04:002010-08-03T14:17:36.372-04:00My husband brought home a weathervane of the Heref...My husband brought home a weathervane of the Hereford Bull. I told him that is just a Breyer with a holed drilled but he didn't believe me until I hauled out my copy.<br /><br />I put pegasus wings on the weathervane one and when it isn't so blasted hot or cold we hoist it up onto the mailbox pole (which is 15 feet in the air). I told him it represents his "Flying Bull" Ranch since he's so full of it. :)dizzijoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542763951432159793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-12300668005263293562010-04-25T11:06:43.259-04:002010-04-25T11:06:43.259-04:00Fascinating work!

I have a moose that is mounted on a base that is much thinner than the base on my presentation series buffalo, so I dearly wish I could make out more details on the desk trophy.Lysettenoreply@blogger.com
