Ewe: “Psst, hey kid. Can you bring me some cotton candy?” Kid: “Mmm, cotton candy…”
Last weekend, for the second year, our livestock crew took to the road for the Charles County Fair where a few of the farm’s Milking Devon and Hog Island Sheep were on exhibit. Showing on Saturday, five heads of cattle strutted their stuff, taking away several first prize ribbons including “Best in Show” in the Dairy Female category. On Sunday, it was the sheep’s turn. Desire and Nicotina were fitted (or groomed) and presented to the judges, earning “Best in Show” in the Other Breeds category for ewes. We are very proud of all of this year’s show girls, and are especially grateful to the staff and volunteers who helped to make it a success.
11 ribbons and counting for the Milking Devon ladies–Bliss, Loin, Mary Gertrude, Lorelei, and JuJubee.
