Strolling of the Heifers

 

  This large cow greeted us as we entered the festival grounds on Saturday. We were in a long line of people who waited to get a picture of themselves taken, while milking this fake cow. Take note of Sharon's stylish boot, which comes off in 11 days (but who's counting).

                                                             

  These goats were supposedly in "Goat Olympics" which turned out to be a short goat race (bummer!). They were resting here, and looking very cute and snuggly. People could bet on which goat would win, and get prizes. We actually missed the race because we were in line for the best ice cream on the planet. But I was envisioning someone holding out grain in front of these little guys as an incentive to move.

                                         Here's Sharon in a cow cut-out....and I'm below.

   




  These alpacas were cute but they looked a little mad, to be honest. They had a sign by them saying, "We only spit if you call us llamas." Hah!

This is the biggest ass I've ever seen in captivity!

I didn't realize this was a real live owl until he moved his head; it was pretty cool.

Typical corn snake

Yep! Thought this was real till I got up close to it. Looks good, doesn't it?

Mumbasa and boy (2 days old)
Elizabeth was unsure if she was
pregnant until Thursday a few hours before  she gave birth

  We stopped by the farm to see the new baby later that day...

A new little surprise to the herd. Baby Boy Goat.

Still there!

This is mommy and daddy and the baby. Isn't dad quite interesting looking? I'm glad the kid favors his mom and not his dad.
