We got up early Saturday morning and headed to the Ag center for an animal clinic. We learned how to give a chicken a bath, how to hold and show a turkey, how to shear a sheep, and how to get your cow to listen. I can't even get my kids to listen and they want me to get a 800 pound cow to. I am so glad our turkey's are not white...maybe I can just get away with wiping them down with a baby wipe instead of trying to get them in a tub of warm water without getting totally wet. I will need to buy stock in Ivory dish soap. All the animals get a bath in that. If you ever wanted to know you need to wash your chickens 2 weeks before you show them. Another strange thing is you need to was your sheep and blow dry them before you shear them. If you don't it can dull your cutters and you have a ton of wool in your kitchen to dry like I have right now. Just another day on the funny farm.
