urine farm

noun, horse farm where urine from horses was collected for use in contraceptives

“They brought all the horses from the west here, and I don’t know why. I guess ’cause the urine farms closed down. That was the reason, I guess. They had all kinds of urine farms, and then they got rid of all those horses and colts … “

“The government set a lot of farmers up with urine farms, all stainless steel piping, all tanks … for the estrogen. Set them all up, and then used the estrogen for birth control pills and perfume. And then they come up with another idea of making the pills. They don’t need the estrogen in the mares. So the government cut them down. They started to cut them all down 40%. So all those colts came this way, and the price of our horses dropped.”
