It is always wonderful to get away to the country to see family and friends. We took a quick trip to the southern tier in western, New York to watch my cousins at the local 4h county fair. They were here to compete with the steers they had raised. Below are a few pictures taken during our short stay in the country.
This is a beautiful Brown Swiss cow that was competing in the 4h show. Isn't she a beauty?
This steer was so sweet and loved having the underneath of his chin rubbed.
My first cousin is helping to get his daughters cow washed up before she enters him into the ring.
The cow enters into the auction ring to be viewed and bid on. The highest bidder gets to take the cow home.
Here is a distant view of a friend of the families dairy farm. It is a huge, working dairy farm with a lot of acres of corn to feed the livestock as you can see.
What would a visit to the country be without taking a photo of the hen and her chicks.... too cute!
The last photo is a view from my cousins farm overlooking the adjacent Amish farm. I love taking a walk up in the cornfield behind his home. This was a quick trip to visit family and enjoy a couple days in the country. Thank you for stopping by my post, I hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of my visit.
Until next time, this is Sunscape...
Sun. Scape. Ing your day
Lol. Your photos wanna make to go and live the good life out on a farm. Good job, buddy! :)

Awh, thank you @ezzy I love being on the farm but it sure is a lot of work. But the quiet lifestyle and animals are the tops.

That cows are so cute and look friendly! Yes, they are friends, not food! But I like organic milk and dairy - from happy homestead cows.

I agree @kalemandra, only one of the farms works towards organic and the other two not so much.
I am an organic grower myself.

I have always been drawn to cows and horses since a little girl, I think they really opened my heart to love more.

My cousins do a great job raising the cows and steer. I love to visit every few years to see them compete.

Love 4H fairs - better than our county fair. The kids seem to be having so much fun and what a good way to learn to be responsible!

I totally agree, the children learn responsibility while raising their animals for the shows. They do enjoy the fair every year.
