Country Livin'

I grew up on a small farm and learned a lot of really cool things from it. Here they are in no particular order:
  1. Milk a goat
  2. Slaughter a chicken
  3. Release excess gas in a goat's stomach (Gross!)
  4. Bottle feed baby rabbits, cats and goats
  5. Give an animal a shot (I'm not very good)
  6. Mix cement
  7. Tar a basement
  8. Birth goats (You really don't have to do anything, just watch. It's sooo cool!)
  9. Correctly compost yard waste
  10. Hypnotize a chicken
  11. Hold a chicken without getting scratched
  12. Plant a garden
  13. Build a fire
  14. Raise chickens
All useful life skills. (Except for maybe the gas one)
