4H and the County Fair

We had our County Fair in August.
 This year for 4H Colton showed a pig and a goat.
He did really good with both of them.

 He got fifth place with his pig, and third place with his goat.
Brutus was a really good looking goat!
 The other kids were in the pet show.  Carly showed her pet rooster, Rusty, and Dallin and Ethan showed their baby goat, Bernard.
 
A very sad thing happened just a couple weeks before the fair.  The other pig Colton was raising didn't want to get up one morning to eat. He just got sicker and sicker, /Dave was out of town, and I didn't know what to do. 
Around lunch time I went out to check on him, and he was really gasping for air.  All I could do was watch and cry as he tried so hard to get up and couldn't. Then he took his last breath and died.  It was awful!  I didn't like having to see that!  And he died so close to fair time.  We are still not sure what was wrong with him.
