Photo's from this year's fair in Walworth County.
Lauren Russell of East Troy and her Muscovy drake both sit nervously outside the show ring on Saturday prior to competition. Though Russell shows Rhode Island red chickens as well, for her duck, it was the first time in the ring. Whether her duck's nervous energy transferred to her, or vice versa, there were some tense moments before the showing.

David Larson's cattle don't need a haircut, and they haven't taken up listening to Nirvana. He and his wife raise Scottish Highland Cattle, something somewhat unusual to even fellow competitors in the barns who are alarmed by the horns, which are required for competition. David's wife Jan remarked that their temperament is generally more relaxed, and though their build is different and they grow slower, they are still used for their leaner beef, and not just a hobby.
