You might be country if ...

[Pastor Dave]

When you bring in a gallon ice cream bucket from the shed into the house and your 3 year old hollars out, "Bunnies!"

You water and feed the rabbits before church and as soon as the service is over, go and check to see if it is hot enough for ice bottles.

After done with that, you realize you're still wearing your church - going clothes.

Trips away from home lasting longer than 2 hours begin and end with squaring away the stock in the shed.

How abt this one? I remembered because it has been raining all day.
During various seasons, the only way to get Dad to go do things with the family(aside from church on Sunday)
was to wait til rain ensured extra farm work would come to a near halt?

You can actively discuss doing a necropsy at the dinner table, and nobody flinches.
You realize that you should have washed your hands when you find motor oil on your sandwich.
You stopped going to mass 10 years ago because you only get a 2 day weekend and you spend it fixing fences, messing with livestock.
Leaving for the weekend takes prior planning.
You leave your shoes on the porch until the mud dries enough you can knock it off (currently where mine are right now)
Your friends call when animals need to be put down because you know what you are doing - worst job ever.

Your friends are all going to concerts and out to bars, and you just lost your mind because Joel Salatin is speaking an hour away from you... In 4 months.

Yep made my day!

Ya avoid big 'Crowds' and would rather talk to your animals than the 'Idiots' in society....

When ya have 1 suit hanging in the closet and it is still in the Bag ya brought it home in...but ya have worn out 4 pairs of Overalls in the same length of time...

If ya have to keep reminding yourself that not all people don't have animals too...

When your Schedule is 'Dictated' by which animals Routine requires your 'Attention' next...

Boots, cowboy hat, western shirt and a big ol belt buckle............oh wait--that's a truck driver. Sorry.

Your daughter gets mad when she has to drink store bought milk, eggs or meat.

Everywhere you go, you end up with hay falling out of your pocket.

You get to use the excuse "I'm sorry, I have to milk my goats" to get out of invitations to awkward dinner parties.

Your 4 year old tells anyone and everyone about how mommy gets milk out of the goats teats and how daddy processes a chicken. Not everyone appreciates this information.

Everywhere you go, you end up with hay falling out of your pocket.

And your shoes, and your hair, and it's inside your clothes...

My daughter also likes to to share which part of the pig we are currently eating (grammie! We're eating the pigs butt!... Doesn't go over very well)

You are looking at the calendar to determine when to breed the cattle AI so that it doesn't cause problems with possible knee replacement surgery and recovery time....
