Yes. I would look for a 4H or FFA kid who raised it. Especially layers or milkers.
Love the idea of supporting kids!!
I think I would, is there something you are concerned about?
I’m not sure I would qualify as a farmer. Just FYI
Not concerned exactly, just planning ahead and wondering if animals bought at fairs have a general good or bad reputation.
It’s a good question i don’t have personal experience to give you but I hadn’t thought of it as a source and I think it’s a good idea. The whole purpose of county and state fairs was to encourage the breeding of animals that perform well for agricultural purposes, right?
Good point!
Yep, not only animals but farm products as well. Some of the best wine I’ve ever had came out of a small producer that always bought their grapes from whoever got the blue ribbon for grapes at the country fair.
Brilliant idea 😁
