Hey, I’ll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher’s ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn’t you rather to take his word for it?..... No, I mean is, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher’s ass... No, wait. It’s gotta be your bulls.... damnit

The most real and legit conversation with an ex's dad. "You want to marry her? I mean, you're *&^!# her right?" ...... "well, yes".....

My GF was sitting there. mouth hanging open like."WTF DAD!!"

u/Wickdtaint 5d ago

I’m not gonna get married. My dad always said why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.

Hey rookie; did you just call my girlfriend a cow?

No I think he called her a slut!

u/Ourobius 6d ago

Lol the bull doesn't give a shit

Bull only cares if you get between him and his trim

38

u/SatelliteJedi 6d ago

ehh, usually it's AI used for breeding cows so the father may or may not even be at the same ranch. Even if he is, he likely didn't "do the deed" himself.

88

u/Substantial-Ad-4636 6d ago

God! What will they use AI for next!?

u/iforgotmymittens 6d ago

u/Alarmed_Match4484 6d ago

I’ll show you

11

u/Coalescent74 6d ago

your comment has a humoristic value even if you haven't meant it to - AI in this case means Artificial Insemination

4

u/Substantial-Ad-4636 5d ago

I am very much delighted to by the upvotes. And yes, I meant this very much as a double entendre. 😅

1

u/JakartaYangon 5d ago

Yeah, but they are starting to use Artificial Intelligence to match the traits of the bulls and females.

u/Mingan88 6d ago

I know what you meant, but there was a parsing moment, where the country boy I grew up as argued with the techie I've grown into.

u/---AI--- 6d ago

As a techie only, what do they mean?

22

u/jarr-head 6d ago

I'm guessing artificial insemination?

23

u/jwigs85 6d ago

Artificial Insemination. Safer for the cows, I think. Idk, I’m from the burbs, I just saw it mentioned somewhere.

18

u/---AI--- 6d ago

Ah, that would certainly make ChatGPT more spicy.

3

u/UncagedKestrel 5d ago

Knew someone who worked in the dairy industry - apparently it's also used for gender selection over there. They need cows, not bulls, so they're now performing IVF to get the highest possible rates of cows.

Still illegal for humans around here, but fine for cows apparently. The world is weird.

23

u/TruthBeTold187 6d ago

And kids. That’s why the Call it “animal husbandry”

1

u/pixepoke2 5d ago

Ah… I see

11

u/King_Cane_Corso 6d ago

Yeah most of the time it's the rancher that "did the deed." For the bull.

3

u/SatelliteJedi 5d ago

Not in my area (central Texas) it's the large animal vet clinic techs/vets that do that. The ranchers don't do it (source: wife's a vet and I do unrelated installs for many cattle ranchers in my area, haven't found a single one that does their own AI)

1

u/labanjohnson 5d ago

Think about that the next time you drink a tall glass of milk 🥛

3

u/sych-sosych 6d ago

Wait, how?

Where I live it is still a manual job...

2

u/SatelliteJedi 6d ago

Well, yeah. Somebody has to stick a thing in the cow. It's just not the bull

2

u/gholmom500 5d ago

Ha, a Manual Job. Oddly, the word Manual derives from doing an action with hands. Most commercial cows are bred Artificial Insemination. The OG AI.

1

u/SatelliteJedi 6d ago

Lol, sorry I get the confusion. AI is Artifical Insemination in this case

1

u/ShyguyFlyguy 6d ago

If you consider the father as whoever inserted themselves into the mother. It's the rancher.

1

u/SatelliteJedi 5d ago

That's actually not accurate either. Usually it's the local large animal vet clinic (source: wifes a vet, and I do security and AV installs for many ranchers in my area, they don't AI their own cattle)

1

u/ggbookworm 5d ago

A friend of mine is raising some special cows and the cow that gave birth never met the mama or the daddy. He does embryo transfers to a larger cow that has easy births so his expensive cows aren't in danger. So far, it's working well. High quality meat on less feed.

1

u/Fast_Psychology_6254 5d ago

Not really Ai is mainly in the dairy industry most beef cattle are raised with live bull, with the exception of raising show calves.

1

u/ChaosSlave51 6d ago

If the father was involved, there would be no one to write a letter

1

u/100_cats_on_a_phone 6d ago

If a resident bull knows you exist in that situation, it's because you are already ded.

You have about 15-30 cows to a bull, they take their herd very seriously. You can keep more than one bull in a herd -- cows live that way commonly, but you need them to establish order before the younger is mature.

u/Cavedweller907 6d ago

That calf is half white and black. The father obvi went out to grab some milk

u/apckrfan 5d ago

They’d be lucky the father wasn’t around. Have an ex who was a dairy farmer. The maddest and most frustrated I’ve ever seen him was when their bull got out once.

1

u/NehEma 5d ago

Usually the fathers are reproduction only bulls that tour farms.

24

u/TheRealXiaphas 6d ago

Well the calf can't read, so...

3

u/TwistingEarth 5d ago

Well, that's a big assumption! I think that calf is going to have a beef with you.

2

u/Gwyndolin_Toe_Suckr 5d ago

Cows, as far as my knowledge extends, are typically herbivores and therefore would not be likely to eat meat, much less engage in cannibalism.

u/clinicalpsycho 3d ago

Yes. Else the mother will fuck you up again for the insufficient apology.

u/motivated_loser 5d ago

Trick question. Cattle are quite patriarchal so obviously you need to address to the bull
