The Petting Zoo

The Petting Zoo at the THE State Fair of Texas is always the best!  This year we even got to see some babies being born!!  This guy (girl?) was a real favorite:

All Jacob sheep - male and female - are born with four horns.  Looks like a medieval jester to me.  They are domesticated, from Europe, and produce mutton and wool just like other sheep.  However, check this fact:  purebred Jacobs have both wool and hair!  Pretty cool, huh?

We would have been there all day if we'd had to wait for these baby pigs to be born.  And THE State Fair wouldn't dare miss a marketing opportunity:

 They have fast animals...

            and slow animals...



                furry ones...

Alpaca

and even the mysterious and sacred White Buffalo.

These guys are sacred to the Sioux Nation and other Native American tribes and nations.  A white buffalo birth happens only once in 10 million births.  How awesome is this!

But THIS!  THIS is my favorite animal of all:

a granchild!
