I don’t blame you for wanting your jacket back (omg sire power), but I will pay you cash money for a t-shirt with the lyrics to Changes translated into Russian 🙏

I just read this while hanging out at the Fryeburg fairgrounds in Maine, while my 12 year old daughter gets her heifer loaded in to the barn. She does 4-H beef showing and this weekend is a youth show plus auction. It’s such a new world to me. Thanks for all the info about the dairy judging side of things. It’s definitely taught her a lot about hard work and animal husbandry. She’s thinking about vet school and farming but who knows, she’s 12. For now, I hope she enjoys the ride.

That's so cool. There is also beef judging, and it is just as oddly utilitarian and aesthetic.
