San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo

In early February, we went to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. We actually went twice, since we didn't get to see the pigs when we were there the first time. However, they were out of the barns when we went the second time too. Oh well...at least we got to spend lots of time in the cattle barn. We also saw Elsie and Beau (the Borden cows), a showing of dairy cows, other cows getting milked, goats, the Swifty Swine racing pigs, various vendors, a bull auction, and some girls practicing barrel racing. We ate a bunch of fried stuff too. The fried ice cream was the best ever!!! We never made it to see the rodeo because it was always at night with a concert afterward, and we just didn't want to spend the money on the show and babysitting. It was good just to see all the animals and dream about having a farm someday. But we want to do things so different from the way modern agriculture is these days. Maybe I'll elaborate in a future post.
