You Might be a Redneck if..... (pic of goat added)

1) you trade 5 dozen hatching eggs for a 200 dollar baby goat. (yup, i did)

Here's your sign moment...

took baby goat (clover, born st patricks day) to the vets because he wasn't eating) and the guy sitting there asked me what it was .. to which i nicely said Lamancha.

then he asked what type of animal it was. now i'm thinking, ok, you're a little off aren't you. we live in the middle of no-where, lots of farmland, and you can't tell it's a goat (ok, it has no ears...it's the breed) but it still looks like a goat., so i tell him it's a goat.

Then, when i'm thinking he doesn't get much scarier, he asked me why i cut off it's ears. I told him it is the breed and isn't born with any. Then he wanted to know how it can possibly hear, with no ears.

i swear, there is just no helping some people.

2) my friend told me that he had someone actually ask him if the brown eggs he had were just not bleached yet. (and i say i'm glad to live here why?)

I love that story! I can just picture the guy sitting there asking all that!

I traded eggs for hops rhizomes last year. Nobody told me that they would grow roots as big as trees in one year and I wouldn't be able to move them without a backhoe

I wanna see the earless goat!

Adorable goat. I have LaManchas and get asked those questions all the time. I keep my goats with a neighbors. Whenever people stop by, I always tell them that's how we can tell her goats from mine: hers have ears, mine don't. A few will ask if I've cut them off on purpose.

I sent my mother an updated pic of our brown buckling. All her co-workers thought he was a bison calf instead of a goat.
