The Fair!
Hubs and I went to the Tennessee Valley Fair on Sunday to visit with some of our friends who show Jersey dairy cows. Their farm is called Oak Breeze Dairy out of Wartrace, TN. They love showing and make it a family affair. Their cows are beautiful. 
There were Holsteins, too. The University of Tennessee had a birthing exhibit, where we saw this little guy (or gal). I love baby calves. I grew up on a Holstein dairy farm. I miss the farm sometimes, but not on cold, winter days. We mostly walked around and admired the animals, and I took lots of pictures.
There were sheep, of course.
We really enjoyed the poultry barn. I was amazed at the variety. Buzz raised chickens for 4-H when he was a kid. Rhode Island Reds, I think.
There were rabbits, too. I couldn’t find the angoras. I’m sure they had them. And of course, a fair isn’t a fair without giant fruits and vegetables. I snapped a shot of this 181-lb watermelon. I wish I had put something in the picture for scale. It was truly amazing.
