[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 635414, member: 1258"] Get used to it. I don't know how many people ask me what I do for a living. I tell them I raise cattle. They look at me for a second (yeah I am small and when I go out my hair and make-up is all done) and then say something brilliant like: "Oh, but you have a hired guy working for you?" I tell them I am the hired guy that I work with and for my mother. "So it is just you and your Mom?" At this time I am getting this look like I may have told them that I cater alien weddings for a living. I smile and nod. Then they ask what my husband does - I tell them and they say "So he doesn't help out on the ranch?" I say "Well, he fixes some fences on weekends sometimes." They get this knowing look on their faces as they say "Ah..." meaning "So your husband does all the work with the cows. That makes more sense." Even when my husband tells them that I work the cattle they don't believe him. Then there are the supportive guys the ones that say "That is good that a couple of girls can handle that many cows, never thought it woudl be possible." :lol2: You are right about the low IQ thing though, a lot of people seem to think that we do this job because it is all we can do. When I tell people that I graduated on the Dean's List they don't believe me. They'd never guess that a small, smart woman would want to spend her days with a bunch of cows. Maybe I am crazy!?! :help: [/QUOTE]
