The Kane County fair continues through this weekend, ending tomorrow. The fair exibits open at 7 a.m., but I slept in a bit, arriving at 7:30. It was good to walk around early, before the midway came to life.
Steer judging started just after the vegetables were judged, about 9 a.m. The barns were a flurry of activity as each steer was spray and combed and fluffed and "detailed" for the judging ring. It was a busy, busy place.
This is my entry for this weeks Photo Friday challenge - "Attractive". There's probably nothing more attractive than a woman that can handle a 1,600 lb. steer. Attitude - yes! I have reasonable expectations that my bandwidth will be gobbled up like a billy goat with this entry, and perhaps those ChicagoPhotoblogger guys will realize the value of a trip out to the country for a photoshoot.

There's a steer in that picture? ;-)

I can't help you on the bandwidth issue and I don't know who those Chicago blogger guys are, but I like your photo!
It looks like that woman may be holding a camera in her hand. Is that you, Zanne, in that short shirt and hip-hugger pants?
Also, how can Gary tell it's a steer from the photo? Is it simply that a male animal is drooling in the presence of a lovely female?
Gary...good one. One point for you. Those of you who haven't checked out Gary's site - click on that "Visual Flow". His pics out of that little Casio are so awesome, it sent me over to Ebay to locate a used one, so that I can have a small camera to carry everywhere.
Pablo - HA HA HA HA HA HA. Yeah, that's me. HA HA HA. Well, lets just say in another time and place that would have me. 40 years ago.

Great shot!
The vivid black of the "steer" is wonderful. He is foaming a little over her but, most men tend to do that anyway. I'll have to go vote for this one.
exceptional photo!
