Today was my trip to the livestock show to get in some sketching time. Of course, I had to go over and watch the very patient ponies hauling little kids round and round.
This Brahmin and his kin were as patient as large dogs waiting for their turn for judging in the show ring. The drawing doesn't begin to convey the size of these beasts up close.
The sheep don't like the noise, the crowds, the kids. They most kept a wary distance at the far side of the pen. This was in the birthing area and there were several wobbly little lambs among them. The large female in the foreground watched me intently as I drew.
The little goat was just sprouting the buds of his adult horns. He slept peacefully and ignored everyone.
All in all it was a very fun day.
