You know you do NOT live on a farm when…
Today we went to the fair. Saw lots of cool stuff. 
We went into the beef barn, and there were some very, um, WELL-ENDOWED bulls in it. Both of my boys, at different times, came up to me and said,
"I can tell those are mommy cows for sure, by the things hanging down." 
(This of course led to an impromptu discussion on just what those "things" were, how they have some too LOL, and how STEERS do NOT have them anymore. When my 9yo wanted to know just HOW bulls are castrated, I told him to ask his dad, since he used to do it for a living LOLOL.)
Ah...my cattle farmer fil would be horrified!
Oh, that is so funny!

My dad was raised on a dairy farm and one day his aunt from the city came and asked which of the cows were boys and which ones were girls. She asked this during milking time. Ouch!
My grandfather also, breeds cows and sells the artificial insemination products.

My DH tells stories of the “calf fries” they would eat on cutting day. Umm… I’m thinking I’d have to be REALLY hungry to eat those. Especially right after cutting them off!!
DH says they are actually good. I’ll just have to trust him on that.
