I am crossing my legs as I type this...

I had to get used to you crazy people posting pictures of your does' hoo hoo's on here. It's like caprine porn. Of course, I have joined the insanity and have posted, not only the private places of my does but also my cow, which, in comparison, looks like something you could fall into.

Still crossing my legs.

LOL!! Love it¡ My children got grossed out this afternoon when I mentioned that I could see baby moving around on the right side of one of my smaller does. Someday I will have farm childrens - wish they hadn't started out in the city, tho'!

Of our six kids, the oldest two were 12 and 10 when we moved to the country and the rest were 7, 2, infant and "not yet". There is a definite dilineation between the first 2 and the rest with the former truly "city kids" and the latter definitely "country kids".

Our oldest two will do whatever they can to avoid anything considered to be "gross", such as births, AI's, stall cleaning etc. The youngest three are all "Cool! Is that the placenta?!"

s my mother was leading him back to his pen i noticed that his testicles were gone and said, "oh...his balls are gone."

my mother looks back and says, "what?" so i repeat myself.

She replies, "oh, really? Are they on the patio? I'd hate for the dogs to get them."

I haven't banded any goats yet, but when we do our bull calves, we always throw them to the cats when they fall off. It keeps them busy playing with them for hours!

Fortunately we live in a small farm town so no eyebrows are raised to conversations over things like semen tanks or retained placenta in the local grocery store!

A priceless conversation! Brightened my mood indeed.

I had no idea we could say "balls" on HT.

Leave it to the goat board...

You're perfectly correct, the more PC term should have been 'testicles'! But then again, look at the high number of views to this thread! ROTFL!

andiplus8 · #34 01/07/11, 02:26 PM

I just love this thread.

Oh and my dogs LOVE the goat's, pig's and calves balls. YUM!

Speaking of farm conversations... the one that comes to mind was from a horse stable where I was employed that dabbled in the breeding business. One day, a mare was turned out with a pony teaser stallion to see if she was ready to be bred. The barn owner's niece ran into the barn and yelled " Uncle ****, the pony is chasing that mare with a big red stick!!" We about fell over laughing.

Seriously, are they still considered 'mountain oysters' or are those from sheep?

Also, now I'm a bit worried as I've never seen any actually on the ground in all these years. I've always assumed they just shriveled up. So if you see me studying the ground carefully in the buckling pen late summer you'll know what I'm looking for...

Oh my, I would have died laughing. Just reading it gave me a good laugh.

I guess since they were kind of shriveled, raisins or prunes might have been a better analogy

Our poor animals get no personal privacy,lol. First we are out in the field looking up their tails, then we go and take pictures and post it on the internet for the whole world to see. LOL

Soon after acquiring our first farm type critters (chickens and goats), my husband and I realized how quickly our conversations reverted to those we had as new parents. Frequently heard sentences in both scenarios: "Have you checked to see that the poop is normal?" "How runny is too runny for poop before we get worried?" "Has he peed lately?" "That just smells off somehow." "Check the tail." "I stick the thermometer where?"

Children and critters seem to bring out the best in us, huh?

It's no wonder that during Biblical times shepherds were considered 'unclean'! We're a pretty coarse lot!
