I grew up in the city. I think we are just trying to say what funny things have been said to us. My HS was in the city and that is where I always got the "What breed of dog is that?" question while walking our sheep and getting them ready for shows. Country folks do say funny things also. I am not meaning to be offensive to anyone city or country.

Oh, I remember an FFA trip to Colorado. We went to a dairy farm. The dairy farmer said chocolate milk comes from his brown and white cows. The sad thing was he was just joking and some of the FFA members really thought it was true.

LOL-- Just kidding-- but "country bumpkin' and the apparent PO'd comment, well...

This was All meant in fun-- and it DOES happen A LOT to all of us who raise any type of livestock....

I Am an Ex-City Slicker-- and am not one Iota offended... why?
Cuz ignorant is ignorant, funny is funny--- no matter where it comes from!!

I had a friend once who was convinced that the color of the eggs has to do with the color of feathers. For example, white chickens (like Leghorns) will lay white eggs, brown chickens (like RIR) will lay brown eggs. I dispelled this theory when I showed her our flock, which contains a Barred Rock, and told her "that poor girl is very confused, instead of laying black-and-white striped eggs she lays brown ones!" This was before we had EEs... wonder what she would have said to a blue chicken!

and that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the gist of it! If we can't laugh at ourselves, there are plenty of other examples out there...

J/K!!

A couple of years ago I took my Warmblood Paint X to a horse show locally, a young woman was walking by and said;

"Oh that must be one of those New Jersey cows."

I kid you not she was meaning Holstein I think, but not to know the difference between cow and a horse?

Yeah, it really is more what stupid people say rather than city slickers..I think I was feeling guilty about how funny I was finding all these comments..thinking, well, poor city kids can't be expected to know a lot of these things.

They ARE all funny, though....

I was selling some pullets one time and the very nice couple calmly looked at me and with all seriousness said, " We just bought a new condo and the first floor is all ceramic tile. Do you think if I devote enough time I can litter box train them?"
I just shook my head and laughed.
