When there are more pictures on your camera of your cow than your kids,
When you spend much more time at the seed rack than at the clothes racks,
When you are thrilled to get a new bucket,
When people you don't know call on the phone to ask canning or animal questions because they "heard" you liked that sort of thing,
When your apron is your uniform!

Now these are funny right here, I don't care who you are! (I love the four country comedians when they get together.)
If you have muddy boots living outside your back door, that can be slipped into in a second......youuuuuuuuuu might be a farmgirl.
If you can't smell manure anymore when you go in the barn......youuuuuuu might be a farmgirl.
If your alarm clock is the banging of milk cans in the barn........you might just be a farmgirl!

You might be a farmgirl when.... you are pulling an oversized bull calf and give cooking directions for pies for the Memorial day picnic to your Daughter-in-law at the same time, and she joins in on the pulling and you both end up on your backs laughing with a slimy , wiggleing calf on top of you.

Good one!

Annika, you might be a farmgirl... when you have bummer lambs and kids in boxes in your kitchen to keep warm & easier to feed in the middle of the night

This is such an amazing topic. To read what the other girls are putting. LOL I love this post!!!!!!!!!
You must be a farmgirl if you know your neighbor has to have surgery on her knee and she is outside mowing her yard, well- the farmgirl goes over and demands to mow for her. She just takes over the mower!

Oh, just thought of another one.
If you wash halters, lead ropes, and horse blankets first before the towels and sheets and hang them on your clothes line..... you might be a farmgirl

LOL !! To me (personally;) ) you must be able to ride a bike for 20 odd miles to retrieve your lost bag and STILL be able to sing in the choir in the eve.

You might be a farm girl if one of your favorite scents is fresh mowed hay and cow manure in no particular order.
You might be a farm girl if you have walked out back to use the 2 holer and know what one is.
You might be a farm girl if you hear someone say, "she's runnin' around like a chicken with her head cut off" and know EXACTLY what that looks like.
You might be a farm girl if you know the difference between a "male" and "female" corn stalk and don't think that is at all funny.
Great thread Teresa Sue!
Happy farmgirl sister #353

If you wash out your horse trailer after hauling hogs in it, then let it air dry for a day before you use it to move, you might be a FARMGIRL.
Hey, it was Rene's idea :),but it is fun huh?

....If while cleaning out your freezer in preparation for this years harvest, you let your naked two-year old son stand outside on the deck and eating frozen homemade applesauce because he wants to watch the irrigation on the bean field next to your house....
...If your kids' have carseats in not only your car, but your tractor and semi, too!... |

...if the smell of horse manure is comforting
...if you've ever had a goat in the back seat of your car
...if the farm vet is on speed dial
...if you find yourself with a lamb bottle nipple and a pair of pliers in your purse
...if you've ever been woken up to a goat bucks mating "song" to the does...
...if you find yourself with hay in your pockets
...if you've ever stuffed a cold lamb or kid in your shirt with you to warm them up
...if you like to stand in the barn in the winter and hear the sound of the herd munching hay as a kind of music
..if you DONT look forward to docking, de-horning and castrating, but put on your big girl boots and go at it.
...if you can help deliver a difficult kid and at the same time order Chinese take out =P
Chances are...you might just be a farm girl

You must be a farmgirl if:
Your kids invide their friends over to swim and they all jump into the stock tank
Your farm truck headlight is held on by baling wire
You have your own set of battery cables
you consider beans and cornbread a complete meal
You carry a pocket knife in your purse

...if you stick baby pigs in the oven along side of dinner to keep warm....
...you drink water outta a community house pail.....
...you ain't skeered to pee outside....
...you know the difference 'tween wipin' with a weed and wipin' with poison ivy...
...you wrench on the John Deere along side your hubsters....
...you kick your hubby AND your FIL butt in a tractor pull...all while wearing pink
...you get slapped in the mouth by a cow's tail, and don't mind the taste...
...you pitch hay with the boys....
...you skin AND gut your own deer, and those of the sissy's that can't do it themselves...
...your just as protective of your animals as your are your kids...
...can hold your own with a bow...
...assist the vet in casterating goats...
...not only take care of your place but help your 85 yo neighbors too...

I am so proud to "know" all of you!! What a bunch of strong, farmgirl women!
Here's my little contribution:
You might be a farmgirl if you have just as many blisters as your bluecollar hubs.
You might be a farmgirl if you've ever drove the tractor to pull the bobcat AND the truck out of a precarious, slick, side-of-the-hill situation that the hubs got them into. (He got the bobcat stuck, then got the truck stuck trying to get the bobcat out!)
You might be a farmgirl if you can tell the difference between a field of soybeans and a field of cotton (before the bolls have opened) while driving 70 mph down a two-lane road.
And, Beth, I resemble that girl in the muck boots, shorts, and straw cowboy hat, much to my DD's humiliation!

Love this thread - let me see what I can add
You know you are a farmgirl when on your kitchen stove you have a pot of fleece boiling, a pot of noddles cooking and a pot of Dandelion syrup bubbling away.
You know your a farmgirl when you run outside in your nightgown and fancy bed slippers to empail a badger on a pitch fork because it was after your hens.
You know your a farmgirl when you own more apron patterns and books then clothing patterns.
You know your a farmgirl when you have crocheted a rug out of a years worth of orange hay bale string.
You know your a farmgirl when you run out into a pasture and take off you shirt with nothing on underneath so you can get a better grip on pulling out a llama baby. Then greet your UPS man still with the shirt around the llama not on you and you ask the UPS man to open the door to the barn so you can check out the baby - all without remembering you had nothing on but that the baby was perfect!!!
You know your a farmgirl when you sleep more in the barn during winter then the house (Kidding and Lambing season) and that just Fine with you.
You know your a farmgirl when you can remember all 175 of your animals names but you get your two sons names messed up all the time.
You know your a farmgirl when during a tornadoe warning you find yourself sitting in the basement with no power, a head lamp on your head and you are crocheting away for a bridal shower. What is even better is you do not realize that everyone doesn't do this...
I will be back with more but you know your a farmgirl when your llama is sitting in your farm shop looking at you like "When you going to get to work". Then you are a Funny Farm Farmgirl...

If you castrate your male cat on the kitchen table with your vet friend, you might be a FARMGIRL.

If you've built a chicken coop out of an old trampoline (coop-o-line LORA???) YMBAF
If you played the game "cow patty steppin" YMBAF
If you ever made your brother or male cousin pee on an electric fence... YMBAF
If you've pushed a prolasped egg back into a chicken...YMBAF

Grace you are too funny.
Ok you must be a farmgirl if you are so excited you can't sleep because you got your chickens out of the garage into their mansion, and then tell anyone you come in contact with
