Milton Miller and His Farmyard Philharmonic Trio consisted of bandleader Milton Miller, a pig, a sheep, and a duck. Not unlike the work of Marvin Suggs, Milton struck his animals to produce musical notes (unlike Suggs, he hit them so hard that he kept breaking his pitchfork).

They performed "Is This the Old Sow" as the UK Spot on episode 415 of The Muppet Show.
