Loving the herd life
If you get manure or pee on your pants and every one around you freaks and your responce is it happens and you can clean them later after your done but that may be because I'm in high school
You might be country if ...

Instead of "How are you doing?" any time you see friends/family/coworkers, the question is
"How are the animals?"

My cell phone is full of animal pictures.
Showing said pictures to DD's friend when gently chided "Most grandparents have pictures of their grandchildren in their phones".
Scroll through phone pictures.....
THERE! here's a picture of grand daughter holding a chicken!
Asking strangers if they want to see a picture of my spotted ass and it is a picture of my donkey.

This has been great for a laugh. I can't believe how many of these I can relate to. Wanted to add a couple:
You might be country if:
- You don't scream when a rat runs across your path in the barn (even though you hate rats), because you know the barn cats will make quick work of it (which they did
).
- Your company that is sleeping over comments, "Your dogs sure bark a lot." You proudly say, "They're supposed to - they're chasing off coyotes, other dogs, skunks, possums, and other things that can hurt the livestock and chickens. We have coyotes run along the back fence line all the time, but we've never lost a goat!" I chuckle to think how annoying I used to think night-time dog barking was before I had LGDs. Now it's music to my ears.
- You're more proud of the fact you trained your guinea fowl to eat out of your hand than anything you accomplished at your 'real job' for the past week.
- Your family gets excited when DH finds a photographer friend that will take the family Christmas pictures at the farm, because then you can include a bunch of the animals.
- You get fence envy...in fact, you find you've thought about fencing probably 100X more in the past 3 years you've lived in the country, than in the rest of your life combined.
- You have as much (or more) hay/straw in your dryer lint trap as lint.

If you plan the rest of your life around kidding/lambing season.
True story - I had one of my girl friends who wanted to make concrete plans to get together and I told her that unless she wanted to come out to the farm for dinner, movies or games (which could possibly be interrupted by assisting a goat birth), we had to do whatever we were doing at the beginning of March or sometime after mid-April, because concrete plans don't happen during kidding season.
