While looking for info to respond to a previous post, I stumbled across 
this list at: http://www.dairypage.com.au/FunnyBones/0899002.htm
and thought it might appeal to some of you.  :-)

You might be a dairy farmer:

If your backyard ends at an electric fence.
If the kids' drinking glasses are milk replacer cups.
If manure is a dinner table topic.
If you know the price of milk per hundredweight but not by the gallon.
If your kids' sandbox is an old tractor tyre.
If you have three pairs of Tingley boots and two pair all go on the 
   same foot.
If the medicine cabinet in your house contains a container of bag balm.
If you've ever gotten an award for fat (and were proud of it).
If your idea of a power lunch is a sandwich on a tractor.
If your idea of carpentry work includes a chainsaw and bent nails.
If fence repair is second nature.
If you can fix anything with baler twine, WD-40, a piece of wire, duct 
   tape and a pair of vise grips.
If your idea of a neighborhood watch is someone calling you to let you
   know your heifers are out.
If the front door on your house has the key in it all the time so it 
   doesn't get lost.
If your idea of mass transit is moving your cows to the crowd area, 
   holding pen or pasture.
If most of your good headgear advertises semen or seeds.
If you have more than a dozen cats.
If you have more pictures of your cows than of your kids.
If your idea of overnite delivery is pulling a calf at three in the morning. 
If you can remember the name of every cow on the farm but the names of 
   your children elude you...
