Given the history of the state, I'd consider naming an official state cow before I'd consider naming an official state cowboy. |

You all have Worcester and Peabody down pretty good.
I am still bothered by the fact that Worcester is pronounced Wooster :/ I can't pronounce most things correctly here because nothing is spelled as it sounds.
As far as cowboys here, there are some?? |

| The street that the original Pepe's Pizza is on in New Haven is named Wooster and is pronounced correctly.

I drive by the place everyday on my way home from work.

Worcester (and Leicester and Gloucester and many many others) are all British names, so you can thank them for the odd pronunciations

My father used to tell people Worcester is pronounced the same way as Worcestershire Sauce.
Can't say I've ever heard anyone pronounce it Wooostershire sauce. |
