You might be country if ...

You wake up before the sun so that you can do all the animals before school
You're always thinking of more animals that you want to get
There's a SPS in your yard (Sacred Peeing spot)
When all your shoes have been in chicken poop
when you're dared to eat snow that's been in mud, and you do

Someone says that you should stay away from that area ("it's cow country!") and you immediately start going there(True!)
You bring your chickens in the house
You enjoy the fresh morning air intermixed with the smell of manor
You came from Texas. You're absolutely country.:p

You pull the kids out ofschool ona nice day to take them horseback riding, but tell them to "try and go" to school when they have a cold.

When the vet's office calls about an appointment, the receptionist says, "Wow. I was able to dial your number without looking."

When you reach into your pocket at work and pull out a kernel of corn.

When people think you work at Tractor Supply because you can tell them where just about anything is, and answer their questions.

When you send an email birth announcement (with pictures) of your newest lamb to everyone in your department (hey, they do it for the human babies!).

When you use your portable corral to fence in an area of your yard so your pony can eat it down, because you haven't gotten it mowed yet.

When you not only eat a food item after picking a stray animal hair off it, but you can also identify which animal said hair came off of.

Before breakfast you have already pulled a deer out of a fence, chased a snake from the chicken yard, picked tomatoes and added fuel to the tractor.

Your second car is a John Deere

You always have alfalfa treats in one pocket.

Someone asks to see a picture of your kids...and you automatically show them baby goat pictures!

These are all so great! I can relate to many of them.

The majority of your facebook posts are of your animals. Yup.
Definitely no "nice" shoes.
Your real job really does get in the way of lambing season.
Electric bill is the highest in spring from the heat lamps!

Some new ones:
You ramble on to co-workers about animal healthcare and animal breeding. They look at you in amazement.
You know more about animal healthcare than your veterinarian.
You haul animals home in a homemade trailer pulled with a car.
Your daily outfit is coveralls and when someone's kid is over they ask you, "Why do you always wear coveralls?"
Underneath your coveralls is "outside" clothes. Actually, your entire closet is "outside" clothes. No nice clothes.
Your down time is browsing the farm and garden section on craigslist.
You spend the winter buying seeds and planning your spring planting.
You base your vacation time from work to allow for planting and harvest.
Your can discuss anything farm related for hours.
You love the sound of a rooster's crow.
Your spend more on animal feeds than you do on groceries for yourself.
You bale ditch hay until midnight because the rain is coming.
You have a large collection of animal supplies: sheep shears, hoof trimmers, needles, syringes, medications, supplements
Your Christmas card is pictures of all your farm animals and you don't have any nice pictures of the humans.
