Feeling sheepish?  Well, you'll be in good company, but bear in mind, if you wear a wool sweater, you may be judged.  While their fleece may not be "white as snow," watching these ornery little lambs is shear fun.  Just don't ask what they think of Christmas.

They aren't booing, they're saying "Moo!"  Come watch these hefty heifers strut their stuff.  Those who don't win, place or show will definitely have a beef with the judges, but that's to be expected.

Weighing in at roughly 2,000 lbs, draft horses are the gentle giants of the equine world.  And talk about horsepower!  Capable of pulling 2-3 times their own weight, draft horses are renowned for their incredible strength.  Breeds include Belgians, Clydesdales, Percherons, Shires, and Suffolks, with the largest among them being the Belgians, which can stand up to 6'8" tall at the withers, though the average height among draft horses is around 5'4".  Their partnership with humans has been instrumental in fields as wide ranging as agriculture and urban construction.  They've hauled our wagons, plows, felled trees, building materials, artillery and heavy freight... and all for a few buckets of oats and bales of hay.

On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, the immense strength of these awesome creatures will be on full display at our annual Draft Horse Pull, so be sure to stop by and cheer on these magnificent beasts!
