What It's Like To Date A Dairy Farmer

It's no secret that dairy farmers are always busy tending to their animals and land, but when it comes to dating, one it can really put a toll on a relationship.

1. Dates

Dating a dairy farmer means that dates with just the two of you are rare. With that being said, it usually means that you're in the barn with him and his family, tending to the cows. Said dates could be anything from milking cows or cleaning stalls out. But whatever the date, they always make it fun.

2. Conversations usually involve something "gross"

Dating a dairy farmer usually involves some pretty disgusting conversations. Whether it be about manure, pus, blood, or some other disgusting thing, it's bound to come up during a casual conversation or dinner.

3. Meeting the parents

Since most farms are family owned and operated, there's a pretty good chance that he works side by side with his parents. With this being said, you're probably going to meet the parents relatively early in the relationship.

4. Calves

This is my personal favorite. Dating a dairy farmer means that I can literally play with tons of calves whenever I want.

5. Leaving the farm

Dating a dairy farmer is always a hassle when it comes to actually leaving the farm. They're always anxious about the cows getting out, a cow needing help to calf, or something else going wrong. Once you finally have them off the farm, they'll make any excuse to leave early and go right back.

6. Committing to plans

When it comes to making plans to either go out or meeting your family, it's always hard. Since dairy farmers don't know if a cow is going to come down sick or need help delivering her calf, they can't promise anything until the last minute.

Although dating a dairy farmer has its challenges, it's all worth it because they are the sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet.
