Jackpot Show

This past weekend, we watched our first stock show. It was called a jackpot show which meant several entries of animals could be in each class, first place won money, and no animals were auctioned. Animals shown were swine, boer goats, and cows by future farmers of America. 

It was a great learning experience for us. We saw new panel ideas for stalls, saw some very well behaved animals, and that even as small a town as ours, people run in different circles. Meaning, we had never seen most of these people before! Where have they been hiding?

And no, we're not going to show any of our animals. We'll be milking the goats and selling some of their kids. I hope to get a few more highland heifers for breeding down the line to sell their offspring. And, if by some miracle I figure out how, I'll also do some sort of petting zoo or animal therapy visits for any animals I can fully train. Sundae and Patches are the closest to being somewhat trained, but that's not saying too much!
