More Sights From The Fair

Of course, the entire reason I go to fair every year is to eat an elephant ear. I justify it by telling myself it is a once a year treat!

Elephant ears!
And of course, yet more lemonade. I just loved the set up here, and wanted to grab the cotton candy booth in the back ground too.

Thirsty?
I don't play any of the games or ride any of the rides anymore. But I do go walk around that part of the fair and take pictures.

The next best part, after the elephant ears, is seeing all the animals. I could probably go see goats any time of the year, but there is something awesome about fair. And goats are such total posers for the camera.

Speaking of posing for the camera, this steer kept striking a pose as I was snapping his picture too. He wanted to make sure I was getting his good side.

Sorry to diappoint, but no cow butts this year at fair! Or well, there were plenty of cow butts, I just didn't take pictures of them. (For those who don't know, apparently one of the most consistent google image searches that leads to my blog is cow butts. Go figure.) However, I do have an awesome picture of a cow tongue!

Tasty Tuesday: Animals at the fair

The flyball tournament this weekend was held at the Marion County Fair. I slipped away after racing was over on Saturday to go take a look at the livestock pavilion.

Sheep were being shown for wool and meat.

Rabbits were being shown for breeding, 4-H handling, and for meat.

Guinea pigs were shown for 4-H handling only, I believe. These are the only animal I ever had in 4-H as a kid.

Cattle were there for breeding, milk production, and meat. I even had a chance to watch part of the cattle auction, which was fun.

This guy in the picture below was the Reserve Grand Champion steer at the fair. He was very solid, huge compared to most of the others showing, and was very friendly, enjoying chest scratches and forehead rubs. Of the ones I saw, he went for the best price per pound at the auction.

Sorry, no cow butt pictures this year.

And for those guessing about Diva, she is none of the breeds mentioned yet. She is actually a Coton De Tulear.

Cow Butts

Most of the search terms used to find my blog are reasonable, to me. Flyball, flyball box, flyball collar, flyball sport mix dog, etc, are all terms that come up a long on the blog, and really, have a lot to do with what I talk about. It makes sense, then, that Flyball is the single most searched term leading to someone clicking on my blog.



Lure coursing and slip leads have come up a few times as well. Seems like a reasonable number of people are interested in doing the CAT, doing lure coursing with their hound, or looking at/buying/learning to use a coursing slip.



A few people, directed to my blog through Google searches, may have come up disappointed. I did not, actually, post who won the CanAm 2011. For you: Rocket Relay won CanAm 2011 after the fifth heat ended in a dead tie with Instant Replay.

Those interested in Disc Dog and Canine Dancing/Freestyle won't have found much in the way of training tips, but hopefully they were satisfied with the plethora of pictures.



I hope those people directed to the blog by inquiries about raw diet, raw diet in sports dogs, and flyball dog diets have been helped by my weekly Menu Planning posts, which include the diet for my dogs every week (though I stopped writing glucosamine supplement every time, even though they get it every day).

My Flyball Training Series posts may have helped out the person looking for flyball target training, and I sincerely hope the touch stick training and other behaviors to be trained help them find what they were looking for.


What I don't understand is the number of people directed to my blog when searching the term "cow butts". Sure, I mentioned cows back in my post about the fair, and even included a picture of some cow butts. What I'm more confused with is 1) Why are people searching google for cow butts? and 2) Are there so few pictures/references out there to cow butts that my blog is one of the top hits?

If cow butts are so popular, why not Sheep Noses? Afterall, the picture depicting a sheep nose is so much cuter.


At this point, however, I have probably repeated the phrase "cow butts" so many times that it is destined to become one of the newest draws to my blog. Maybe I should go visit some farmers in the area so I have new cow butt pictures to share? Any local farmers want to offer up their cows for a photo shoot?
