YES IT WAS WASTED! AND IN 1 OF THE MORE PITFUL WAYS I HAVE EVER SEEN TOO
... NOT BECAUSE 4H OR FFA... THE BELIGERANT IDIOTS AT OUR COUNTY FAIR HAVE SCREWED US ALL MASSIVELY
TO THE POINT THAT 1/2 WAY THRU THE MARKET ANIMAL SALES PUBLIX BUYERS LEFT! SO AFTER 9 MOS OF EXPENSE AND WORK RAISING MARKET STEERS MY KIDS WERE LUCKY TO GET $1.00 A POUND
(KEEP IN MIND WE HAVE 1.93 A POUND IN THEM AND THATS ONLY BECAUSE WE BOUGHT ALL FEEDS IN BULK AND GOT MULTIPLE CALF DISCOUNTS... MOST FAMILIES THERE NEEDED MORE LIKE 2.14 A POUND JUST TO BREAK EVEN. THEY SCREWED THE SALE UP SO BAD THAT 4 PROFESSIONAL BUYERS FROM THE STATE'S LARGEST GROCERY CHAIN WALKED OUT 1/2 WAY THRU THE SALE! ... NICE HUH?
OH AND OUR NICE AG BARNS... YEAH THEY SCREWED THAT TOO, REMODELED THEM SO ALL THE STEERS WERE OUTSIDE IN SOME RINKY DINK LIL TENT CITY SHANTY THAT WOULDNT HOLD A MODERATELY BROODY CHICKEN HEN, WHICH ALSO LED TO A CHILD BEING INJURED BY AN OUT OF CONTROL STEER... AND SEVERAL VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT GETTING DAMAGED BEFORE MY SON WAS ABLE TO ROPE THE BEAST FROM A MOVING PICKUP TRUCK... ( 1 OF THE FEW BENEFITS OF HAVING A REDNECK SENIOR THERE
)
LETS JUST SAY THE FULL 10 ROUNDS BETWEEN 4H AND FFA PARENTS AND THE HERNANDO COUNTY FAIR BOARD HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN STARTED YET. EVEN THE COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT IS SPORTING FOR A FIGHT THIS TIME.
THIS KIDS, IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CITY FOLK TAKE OVER A RURAL AGRICULTURAL COUNTY FAIR... THE EXTENT OF THESE PEOPLE'S MEAT KNOWLEDGE IS KNOWING TO GET THE SUNDAY PAPER FOR COUPONS AND SALES TO SAVE A FEW CENTS ON THEIR HAMBURGER AT THE STORE... LIKELY THE SAME STORE THAT WALKED OUT
