I don’t want to get out of my livestock trailer…no…you can’t make me…no matter how hard you pull…..Oh wait, this is the Kentucky State Fair! Sure, I’ll step out, today’s the day I strut my stuff.
First it’s time for my shower. Yikes! That’s cold! But I have to look nice for the judges. After my bath it’s time to moo-ve along to be trimmed and brushed. Don’t forget the oils; I like to make my coat glisten!
In my stall it is like an all-you-can-eat hay buffet. I can eat all day long, even in my sleep! I would like to get a nap, but the Kentucky kids keep petting and poking. It’s like they’ve never seen a cow before! Sheesh.
Here comes my owner. Time to put on my harness and give it my best. The judges are waiting. With my owner by my side, we step in to the ring. I hear our names called. I hold my head up high, give the judges a wink and slowly walk so they can see every inch of my well coifed coat.
Now the judges are tallying the results. They’ve seen all of us Kentucky Proud cows and they’ve made a decision. “And the winner is… Bessie” Hey, that’s me! And that’s my blue ribbon.
I gracefully walk my way back to the stall. It’s the best day of my whole cow life. I wouldn’t trade this for all the hay on the farm. Oh wait, did somebody say hay? I’m hungry.
Back to my spot and it’s finally time for a hay snack and a nap. After all, I deserve it.
