State Fair 2005

Ahh time for the New York State Fair once again.
Our first stop was to pay a dollar to see thw World's largest Pig. He had his own room and air conditioning. He was big all right. At 1600 pounds, Norm stands about 4 feet high and measures 71/2 feet from snout to tail. www.worldsbigpig.com
Then on to the sheep, goats and pigs. Several famrs had some pigs who had just been born in the past week.
A llama enjoys his fan. I enjoyed the llama. I hope to keep one one day since they are supposed to be great guard animals, but they are a little too weird looking for Gary.
A horse gets a washdown after being in the ring.
Many beef cattle were being shown the day we went. Here is a row of Charolais cattle.
Here are some shorthorns. They are a good dual-purpose breed.
Mom and calf snuggle up to the fan.
This year's butter sculpture. Chocolate butter ....mmmmmm.......
We ended the day with Ted Nugent. Music wasn't exactly my first choice, but the commentary in between was definitely interesting!
