RE: Fair, Not Fair

in #ocd4 years ago

And here I am complaining about hefting around sheep. That is one reason I am not raising beef. Big brutes. I have serious respect for people who are handling them.

Spokane has a "virtual fair" this year.... 🤢 🙄

Awe, thanks! :) I have legendary respect for people who raise sheep, I used to help my uncle with them and their decision making skills sometimes made me crazy lol.

I’m so glad we got to have the show and sale this year, everyone worked hard and made it happen. One fun thing was the sale was in the rodeo arena for social distancing reasons and they didn’t get to the steers til dark. Even the best trained ones were flipping out. Let’s just say I have some new bruises!

My dad always raised sheep, and this is the best description of them I've seen yet!

I am glad the 4-H show went on, even if the fair was canceled. After all the months of hard work those kids have put into their animals, it was the sensible decision. But really, masks in the show ring? Geez.

I, too, am glad the show went on, things were definitely different this year, but not all of it was a bad different.

And next year the fair is going to be ten days long instead of five! So we have that to look forward too!
