Hi nhplowboi, how's your plow mule doing these days? I heard she had a sore butt from too much .... errr ... affection from you in the barn as of lately. Now that is only what I heard.
Though I have no experience with anything at all along these lines, I would imagine she would appreciate you romancing her tenderly and with kindness. Same goes for those poor little chickens of yours too.
Have a pleasant evening.
*smiles and waves good-bye to you*
