Alright, Topsham Fair wasn’t all that interesting. I don’t feel the need to really bother with writing what happened in great detail. Not to mention, I really don’t feel like writing it in the first place.

  • We got a goat. He’s a Boki goat, whom we named Caesar. After the dog whisperer…
  • It poured. Really, it did. Nearly every day.
  • I spent most of the first half of the week getting my sheep ready for show.
  • My sheep pretty much cleaned the floor with everyone. They’re kinda awesome.
  • I got to see Maes!!!! He was a ram lamb I sold last year as a breeding ram. I got to see him!!! It was the one thing I was looking forward to!
  • The last few days of the fair were really nice. Taylor, my boyfriend, came the last three days. It’s nice to spend time with him before I go off to college.

Anyway. The vet came today to do regular vaccines, like rabies. It went really well. We also got a few of the cows Preg-checked (checking to see if they are pregnant.) Of the four cows that were checked, three were pregnant. That’s a 75% success rate. so I’d say that it’s pretty good.

Me and Caesar
