All i can say is glad we are out of that. At least in our county even last place wins money. Alot of times more than other kids do. Its set as auction donation . People donate money to their family child ,other kids for raising animals . Its all tax deductible. Helps offset going to state fairs. It is very expensive. What i dont like is in hog production if you dont buy chemical feed to increase muscle growth , you have no chance. Almost everyone uses this to try competing. State fair judging is a scam. Those judges know who purchased high priced animals from who. For most part you have to purchase an expensive animal , use chemical in feed , to win money at state fair. You may be surprised to know commercial hog farms are the most cleanest and safe production of any farm animal produced. Commercial is done by outside or indoors. Indoors is really interesting. Worker must shower , the put on disposable gowns and disinfected boots. Fed high quality diet, air movement, . They do not lay in feces. They live on slotted raised floors, all urine and feces falls through. Sick animals immediately taken out to a quarantine until over sickness. Birthing animals kept in special area away from other animals. Outdoor production is also done with success at commercial farms. Both ways are animal friendly and environmental friendly.

No animals but the one time I entered a country fair, I won first prize for my spool knitted "table protector". I was so proud at my young age of 8 or 9. :)

i used to show Irish Setters a long time ago. At the state royal show one of my Setters got best in breed and third in show overall, although my dogs did well over a few years i gave up because of the grumpiness, it was unbelievable, besides they were my pets.
