Get Your Goat

Another aspect of the Dillsburg Farmer’s Fair: the animals. Llamas, goats, cows, alpacas, chickens, a rooster, a calf, and a wooly bull of an animal from Norway, I believe. All very friendly and a lot of fun for the kids. Anyone familiar with these types of animals could read the signs of distress at times -- not that they were in any danger, but they were quite nervous in their small enclosed pens with lots of people around them and trying to pet them. Several adults found the cries they made funny and entertaining -- I was not one of them. However, my concerns for the animals’ well-being were alleviated by seeing that their owners stayed close and comforted them.
