I'm a "Big Smoke" man

Oh wow lucky maddy.
Is it a big farm? Do you have to get up early to do jobs?
Do you live ages from anywhere or is it one of those farms thats actually quite near to places??

For most of the time I lived in Los Angeles, I had over a period of time, 2 horses, 2 goats, at one time we had 7 dogs all at once, we've always had at least 2 friendly cats, up to 15 wild cats, often had kittens and pupies, there was a small lake (yes... Los Angeles... my friends were envious) and it had ducks and geese and those black ones with white bills that are probably called something differant in Australia, um... there were coyotes when we first moved in but it's all been developed now... I lived right at the edge of LA and the valley where the suburb in the show Weeds is set, I find that google Earth has actually a mix of like 20 year old pictures and pictures more recent than when I was there to map the immediate area where my house was.  Before that I lived in a house about 8 to 10 miles south on the other end of the valley (the short way accross... big friking valley) and after it I lived in Alabama near Cows but not pigs or goats but there was wild deer and alligators and wildcats and even panthers... it was minutes from the border of Florida.  I moved to Florida when I left my parents house and it was only 20 to 30 minutes away but it was the differance of night and day... even the sunsets weren't as good.  I lived in Atlanta for about 5 or 6 months.  I lived in ... crap I almost forgot where I lived but it was North Carolina but only for 3 or 4 months.  I almost moved to Louisiana because I was driving there and back from Florida every few weeks for a job offshore.  Then I moved to Sydney and ... oh I forgot, I had Ferrets for a while in Florida, also, my parents have always had dogs but they don't know that they're actually my dogs... even today they live in Arizona but the dogs like me better.  Then I moved to Sydney and I can't have pets because I rent but I have 2 fish and one jumps out of it's container when it gets agitated and then the table gets bumped or is startled.  It's done it twice.  We had a nice kitty cat adopt us at the last place we rented but all we could do is open the door and let the cat walk in and keep the door open so it was like... not our fault even though we had food and water bowls for it right outside our door... and even though we closed the door, and that I brought it inside myself all the time, but then we moved to a differant place that's bigger and on the second floor.

So that's all I can think of at the moment.
Do you have a dog?  I like dogs.  Lets be friends.

MD, you ARE a dog.

My eldest sister who was 9 when I was born lived on a farm after she married when I was about 10 or 11. Every holidays I went to stay with her and loved it. They had sheep, pigs and wheat. It was a large farm. My first in laws had a farm which had cattle, sheep and grain, cats and dogs and snakes and 2-3 horses at any given time. My second in-Laws had a grain growing farm and a couple of cats. They were wealthy in the 60's and 70's enough that they sent their kids to private schools and travelled the world almost every year. They began to 'share-crop' when farming began to make less and less money. They sold the farm by 1987. At my sister's I grew up getting the cow in so she could be milked the next morning, being terrified by the Bull who lived across the road in a neighbours paddock, who had his eye set on the cow, helping to band and crutch sheep, all the feeding that had to be done and once I helped to drag a lamb out of her mother who died while giving birth! I loved life on the farm. You are lucky maddys.

Yeah I think it would be fun!
Oh I am 9 years older than my sister as well suzi, even though you are the younger one, but still. I wish I had a sister closer in age to me, like 2 years apart or something.

I'm 12 years older than my younger brother. And my sister, who's just under 2 years older than me is disabled, so I don't really connect with any of my siblings.

Oh really silly? that sucks. what's wrong with your sister??
man 12 years thats a long time. i dontlike it being 9 yrs , its like when im 60 shes only 51, im 70, shes only 61 lol

My friend has 13 siblings

I visited a dairy farm when I was 20.  Does that count?  All I remember is a lot of cows and cows**t.  

Did you drink fresh unadulterated milk with the cream still in it? Mmmmm fresh cows cream and fresh milk, yummo.

Mmm... a few years back when I went to my great uncle's house in the village at Turkey, I tried my mouth at some fresh milk lol. Loved that the curds were still on top hehe. Although I'd never do it again. Villages are filthy.

I used to live on a farm but we grew crops - mostley lettus and beans (before frozen came along) but we did have a cow, goats and chooks, ducks and dogs and cats , (to keep the rats a bay)

ive never lived on a farm... well ive been to one once, on a school excursion when i was like 7 or 8 but i dunt think it was really a farm. but I got to milk a cow, and the milk was all warm and tasted gross.....well thats how i rmeember it!!

We live in a rural area on 11 acres.  We live with my partner's parents and his dad has some cows and chickens.  They also have two dogs and we have two cats.
  Before we moved here they lived on a big farm (about 250 hectares) and we lived with them for a while there too.  Cows%#t  EVERYWHERE and cows can be really annoying. They bellow when they are in heat or separated from the calves and they do it ALL night long.   I remember once we had to use the tractor to get a calf out-that was scary.   They also had chickens and crops there too.
I really don't like farms.

I can sympathise with you there. I am actually the youngest of 3 children, but my parents separated when I was only 3. Because I was the youngest child, my mother took me with her when she left my father and older brother and sister. I was raised as an only child. When I was 11 my mother remarried, she and my new father tried to have a baby, but my sister didnt arrive until I was 18 and already living away from home. My sister was also raised as an only child as my mother and I do not get along and keep our distance from each other.

I met my younger sister when she was in her 20s, but we didnt get along either she is too much like my mum, so now I am in my 50s, with an older sister and brother neither of whom I know from a bar of soap and a younger sister who I don't know either. Strange family.

And in answer to the original post, I live in the city, although spent a lot of time living in the country although not on farms, but I friends who owned a dairy farm.
