Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Confession - I was a stripper back in the day

Most likely some other fire members were too.

My sister came for a visit and we got out the family albums and she pulled out this gem. One of the many chores I did on the family farm.

Lots of guys here just seem obsessed with teats, don’t know about the stripping part.

Me? I’m not a bad stripper myself



....shamelessly as well.

So after the machine comes off, you had to get the very last drop.

That was my old man's philosophy also.

Been there and done that!

Back in the day, one of the guys stationed with me in San Antonio moonlighted as a stripper at one of the bigger bars in town. Not sure he made a full career out of the military, but he did have some fun!

roundoak, how did those "Chuck Conners" work out for a farm boy?

Chuck Taylors,,no?

That and some cows come up with sore teats and also checked for mastitis.

I think "rong" was correct...converse Chuck Taylor. They were cheap, cow schit did not eat them up like leather and Mom would wash them in bucket and hang them up to dry on the clothes line.

You guys are right, Chuck Taylors, how could I forget. That's what happens when you reach your mid 60's! I also liked the railroad hat.

Dad wore those train engineer hats all the time and I wanted to be like Dad.

You guys were uppity farmers with those milkers. Milked our cows by hand.

City girls bought the old mastitis checking thing, but it didn't work often on farm girls. But when it did! GW

Yep, we were uppity farmers alright, but it was a more dangerous business when the milking machines came on the farm. Some of those cows went ballistic when you first put the teat cups on.

Cool pic. The only thing missing is the cat hanging around waiting for a squirt. ;-{>8

I learned to play the Blue Danube Waltz on 4 teats.

You wasted a lot of feed if you gave them enough keep them occupied long enough to have time to milk through two cows.

Did you make sweet or sour cream butter?

I would liked to have heard that.

No butter made on the farm during my era. For several years we bought butter from the truck driver that picked up our canned milk.

You are right, I am surprised there was not some cats in the picture.

we made butter for farm use. I remember churning the stuff in an old wooden churn. Still have it too, sitting in my front room.

How old are you, Sam? Churning butter!!!! That has not been done around these parts since the Korean War. Wait I should take that back, some hippies moved in this area back in the 1960's and they churned butter as what they called it....a cottage industry. They didn't stay long, though.

That churn should be a cherished heirloom.
