Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a farmer will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.

Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Livestock do not observe holidays. That single fact shapes everything about the job and is the part that non-farmers find hardest to grasp.
The weather is not small talk here. It is the entire business plan, revised daily.
Arable and livestock farming are different lives, and someone doing one is not doing the other.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Firefighter, Fireman and Fisherman each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
