hahahaha, that is awesome. Unfortunately he's the one that does all the cooking. I could just throw it all away after he cooks it My best friend has talked about getting a micro pig. She travels a lot for work so I offered to take care of the pig while she's out of town. That's my way of having a pig without full responsibility. My husband still isn't stoked that I offered to help. Those little bastards are super expensive so I don't see it happening anytime soon. She has talked to the Animal Rescue League about a few of their pigs though. We'll see. A pig and my pug. A match made in heaven
Cow tipping is just something we tell city people about to get them to try it. I'm around cows all the time. You aren't tipping one over. On the other hand....a guy I used to know raised bulls for rodeos....and I mean....these are some mean, scary ass bulls. His Jeep wouldn't start in the pasture one day. After he left, they tipped the Jeep over.
eh, they're really not that entertaining. they just kind of shove their nose in places and snort a lot. and they have the smelliest shit known to man.
This is true. Their shit is horrible on a commercial level at least. I know where all the hog lots are around here and I hold my breath as I drive past them. They are fucking horrible. Really.
Oh yeah, like both of you have shit that smells like roses. Don't pick on the poor little piggies. They can't help it.
I find their snorting highly entertaining. But for real, a couple of those big pigs in a suitable place is fun. I guess it depends on the person. But I agree, a pig barn stuffed with pigs is not much fun, and a heavy burden on your nose.
You always know when you are close, You will smell them long before you see them if the wind is right. If not, You will still smell it, Just not as bad.
A traveling salesman trying to make a buck was driving through the plains of Nebraska when he decided to stop at a farmhouse coming up on his left. As he was walking up the driveway toward the front door of the house, a pig with three legs caught his eye. It was just hobbling through the grass. When the farmer answered the door and asked what he was selling, the salesman first asked about the three legged pig. "That pig is the most amazing pig in the land, son." The farmer said "Last year, our house caught fire when we were all asleep and that pig ran in and woke us all up one by one and saved our lives!" The salesman was surprised. "That is one special pig" He said. The Farmer replied, "That's not all. Last summer, that pig jumped into the pond and dragged my drowning son to safety. He would have died." The salesman was in disbelief as to how incredible this pig was. "One question. Why does he have 3 legs, is it from the fire?" He asked "No son, ya see, a pig like that you just don't eat all at one time."
i never had more than two pigs at a time. i know it's just my opinion, but i still found the smell to be a bit too much, and i just never found the pigs as entertaining as any other animal we had.
I'm going to go with Yogi on this one since I live in the same state and work in rural areas all the time. A pet pig at home is a lot different than a hog lot. You will know a hog lot when you get near one. You won't have a choice. I've developed a system of gauging the wind and my truck speed and holding my breath as I pass a hog lot. I think I have about a 60/40 success rate. Better than nothing. Those lots stink sooo bad sometimes. My most productive work is around hog lots. Get done and get out of there.
Damn sissy lalas. Can't handle a little bit of stink. I grew up with 5 brothers. 1 pig has nothing on them!!!! I live in the same state and I'm in the country a lot too. It's not like I want to bathe in the smell but if I had a pig I would deal with it.
i tip them if they are friendly and keep filling my coffee without me asking skinny ones too ...same rules
But you live in Polk County. Go up to Iowa Falls. I bet you would ask what the hell is going on up there. Many rural areas are simply ruined for anything more that Big Ag. It's pretty bad, honestly. I hate working up there....not just because of the smell but because of what it all means.
My sister lives near Iowa Falls. Just because I grew up in the city doesn't mean I don't know about rural life. Remember, my dad lives on 160 acres in the country. Sometimes when the wind blows you can smell the neighbors cows. My step mom always says "Do you smell that? That smells like money" Hands down...poultry is the WORST smell by far. That shit makes me gag. I have a dog. I deal with his shit. I also have a husband........... Which brings me to this. Who do you think is the pooper scooper around here? I'll give you one guess and its not me. (well sometimes it is but not usually)
