Spending a few minutes online this afternoon, I came across an absolutely lovely gallery of photos taken by Ted Jackson, NOLA.com The Times-Picayune, from the 2013 St. Tammany Parish Junior Livestock Show and Auction in Covington, Louisiana.
There’s a beautiful, white pig being groomed for competition. Another photo shows a young lady snuggling and giving her Bantam rooster a critical look-over to make sure he’s perfect. Of course, it wouldn’t be a livestock competition without some cattle showing their stubborn side. Didn’t the young men and women raise some fine livestock?
So cute
Hilarious! Such funny little critters! I’m ready to move out on a farm, that is, until the roosters start crowing.
Arrrrg. The roosters! i hate that. When I first got married we lived in a rental house next door to people that had roosters. Fools didnt even have the decency to live out on a farm with those things. I hated the sound ever since.
That’s awful! I’d never have roosters. I guess you need those for working farms, so my farm days are over before those ever started.
I’ll never forget the first time we went to the Rodeo to see the animals that were at auction and all that. I was 6 and had my hair in pig tails. We walked up to one of the prize cows and I looked back at my Dad and felt a yank on one of my pig tails. I saw my Dad laughing. Then I looked up at that cow and she was snacking on my hair! They should feed those animals! Lol, I was freaked out that cow had her big tongue in my hair. Ew
Awwww! That’s adorable, Romo! What a sweet story! Even that prize cow knew how sweet you are and couldn’t resist.
