Sate Fair is every year arround september and for new New Mexico it took place in Alberquerque .
What is it about ?
Its over one week where kid at the age of 9-18 show there animal which the raised on their own.
It hepls them to learn responsibility .
They are feeding their animals (pigs, goats , rabbits, sheeps, lambs ..) all year long , train with them and prepare them for their competition.
When we arrived at state fair we were prapring my host sister's animals . They had their own cage .
The pigs for example had to be shaved , washed and prepared with body lotion (...).
When they take part at the competition , the judge is judging about their weight, walk, shape,properation and much more .
They can win diffrent prices but the head winner would be the 'grand champion' who gets a belt buckelt and price money . After that most of the animals get sold . For example: My sister bought a pig for 500 dollar and she would sell it for 1200 dollar.
That seem much like it worth it but they were honest and said that they losse oney while doing it . You have to calculate all the food and time they have to spend on . I asked them whey their are doing it then and they respond because they've fun doing it and its a great way for kids to grow up with.
With the money they buy new animals and prepare for the next year .
