A few hundred people jammed the fences around the birthing center to
see first the sheep giving birth to two lambs, and then some came back a
few hours later to see a holstein cow deliver a baby bull. In between, a
rabbit delivered a handful of little ones, but it wasn't nearly as
exciting, or noticed.While the births were interesting from my strictly city-boy point of view, the faces in the crowd were even more intriguing. The kids seemed generally unexcited, the men bored and the women were more expressive.

The cow, from Walk-Le Holsteins in Thomasville, also delivered a calf during last year's fair.
In the next few days, more sheep, calves and pigs are expected.
