[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 1050168, member: 19539"] Yeah, usually I think that the exhibitors are at a higher risk than the public. I remember my show days, I was in it for 8 years, I think I've been stepped on a time or two getting in between to water them. This past year another girl from my nieces and nephews 4h had a calf that was a bit wild, my nieces and nephews did a good job watching out for spectators that wanted to pet some of the animals and directed them to the GRF stock instead. People even sat on a couple of ours when they were laying there all lazy, lol. The wild one ended up flipping out sadly, but at least while it was tied. The barn superintendents did a good job of taking control of the situation, they got gates boxed around the yearling heifer until the owner came back with the trailer, they kicked everyone out of the exhibit barn and closed the doors until they got her safely loaded. I wish they would have had the sense to never bring such an animal to the fair, but at least it was handled well that none of the public got hurt. At the annual auction the animals get antsy and nervous, but they have it set up really well that there isn't incident, even with all the people traffic. I'm glad that everyone from all the clubs all kind of work together to keep an eye out for things and that adults and older exhibitors help out younger ones and watch out for them, to see if they need help.
