As one farmer's wife remarked 'If I had a gay boar, I'd send him to the

Meaning she'd keep all other male pigs and allow them to breed?

Or is there a flaw in her pithy comment somewhere?

No, but your comment is unsurprising as you obviously don't understand
basic economics. Farmers keep a few male stock of whatever species to
mate with their female stock and produce offspring to be raised and
sold and generate income. A gay boar, like a gay ram or a gay bull, is
of no use to a farmer. Their only value is as meat, so off the go to
market and the slaughterhouse.


And bull calves from dairy cows are worthless and tend to be shot
and given to the local zoo or hunt.

No they are not. Dairy cows are inseminated with beef bulls.
The calf is almost as good as a pure beef cow bull.
Bull calves have a rubber ring fitted to their knackers shortly after
birth. In a few days their knackers fall off.

Umm.. Not sure about that Harry. Ram Lambs are castrated with rings also
tails docked (or they were when we dared turn out Sheep)

Calves were castrated by crushing the cords after a Novacain injection
with a burdizza (bit like a large set of pliers, ouch!)

Mind, I'm 10 years out of touch.

That is an alternative
There yah go.
