Here is a late entry for the cow show, that is Bebe, Donny and Kim's little dog dressed as a cow. I think that it should have won best in show. After the cattle show we went down and watched Donny and Dusty dance with the state officals. They even auctioned off a vet as a potbelly pigs. You would never believe that Donny can do the twist and we are not going to talk about the brickhouse with Dusty. Saturday started and I did not think it was every going to end. Our 1st sheep show started at 10..the sheep did walk.
now all 3 girls are in the same class because they are all 3 fine natural wool lambs..Sam got 3rd, Tori got 4th, and Jenna got 5th, in this Jr wool breed. Not bad for their 1st wool show. Then we had to run to the other side of the fair to show cows, ok Ho came to the other gate to pick up the girls as soon as they got out of the arena..I stayed to get the sheep in the pen and halters off. Then I ran to the other side to see the open cattle show.
I made it in time to see Sam win 1st place in her class, Tori placed 6th and Jenna in 7th in their class. Then it was off to the other side of the fair to go back to the sheep.
This was the fleece show. All they look at is the wool itself on your sheep. We have young sheep but Jenna still placed, she got 8th. In this class you compete with all natural fine wool sheep no matter the age. We still had to show turkeys. We missed the hen show but we did make the tom show. These are the turkeys the girls raised since they were 1 week old. They went from 3 oz to 16 lbs in 4 months.
There were 50 kids and we had the most turkeys surive. Tori places 6th, Jenna 7th, and Sam 9th. We still have 3 turkeys here at on the farm. Then our shows were over for Saturday, but not our day. They had reschedule the Sugarland concert for that night. So we left the fairgrounds to go party.
If you get the chance to see them you need to, they were amazing. After the concert the girls and I headed back to the trailer for a few hours of sleep. Sunday..the last day. We only showed 2 animals that day. But both competions started at the same time. We got the cows ready and show in the Jr open dairy show. Tori placed 7th and Jenna placed 6th in their class while Sam placed 6th in hers.. 
Ho then took us over to the other side of the fair to show the sheep in the open wool breed show. You talk about timing we got there and we were the next class to show. 
Sam placed 2nd and Tori placed 8th. All 3 girls did earn their showmanship ribbon for their sheep. Ho had the VW waiting and he drove us back to get ready for the costume contest while Dusty put the sheep back in the pens. Now you ask costume contest? Yes the kids dress up as well as they dress up the cows. 
Now Jenna dressed up Woopy as an ice cream sundae while she was a 50's waitress
Tori dressed up as Taylor Swift and Taylor the cow had the music sheet for milk drops on my guitar.
Sam was Dorthy and Oz her cow was the good witch, no red ruby slippers just red cowboy boots
