We used to dangle a string and nail over the hips of our goats to check the gender. It worked great! Kind of spooked us, too. <br /><br />2. I'm familiar with the term concho for the horse brass disks. Is it just a regional term?

I've heard that used for the same purpose with human babies. Take a strand of the mother's hair, put a a thimble or pin on the end and swing it. The same motions apply. Always thought I'd try that but never did. :) I've always heard the one about hats and horseshoes. My grandpa wasn't a cowboy, but he always said a hat on the bed was bad luck.<br /><br />Thanks for all the fascinating superstitions. Martha W.
