You might be a dairy farmer:

1. If your backyard ends at an electric fence.
2. If the kids drinking glasses are milk replacer cups.
3. If manure is a dinner table topic.
4. If you know the price of milk per hundred weight but not by the gallon..
5. If your kids sandbox is an old tractor tire.
6. If you have three pairs of Tingley boots and two pair all go to the same foot.
7. If the medicine cabinet in your house contains a container of bag balm.
8. If you’ve ever gotten an award for fat (and were proud of it).
9. If your idea of a power lunch is a sandwich on a tractor.
10. If your idea of carpentry work includes a chainsaw and bent nails.
11. If fence repair is second nature.
12. If you can fix anything with baler twine, a piece of wire, duct tape and a pair of vise grips.
13. If your idea of a neighborhood watch is someone calling you to let you know your heifers are out.
14. If the front door on your house has the key in it all the time so it doesn’t get lost.
15. If your idea of mass transit is moving your cows to the crowd area, a holding pen or pasture.
16. If most of your good headgear advertises semen or seeds.
17. If you have more than a dozen cats.
18. If you have more pictures of your cows than of your kids.
19. If your idea of overnite delivery is pulling a calf at three in the morning.
20. If you can remember the name of every cow on the farm but the names of your children elude you..

Guilty of all except the pictures of cows and kids. I have 11 month old twins and a digital camera, I think I have a thousand pictures by now. Some do contain them and cows though! Plus with the baleing twine and other things you forgot WD-40

You May be a Farmer If ...

* Your dog rides in your truck more than your wife.
* You convince your wife that an overnight, out-of-state trip for parts is a vacation.
* You wear specific hats to farm sales, livestock auctions, customer appreciation suppers, and vacations.
* You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the house.
* You've never thrown away a 5-gal. bucket.
* You have used bailing wire to attach a license plate.
* You've fibbed to a mechanic about how often you greased a piece of equipment.
* You have used a velvetleaf plant as toilet paper.
* You have driven off the road while examining your neighbor's crops.
* You've borrowed gravel from the county road to fill potholes in your driveway.
* You have buried a dog and cried like a baby.
* You have used a tractor front-end loader as scaffolding for roof repairs.

My dad drove into a culvert and broke his nose while checking out the neighbors corn.

I'm sure glad there are other people around like me. I don't have bag balm in the medicine cabinet, though, I've got Blue-Kote in there.
