With the judges handing out blue ribbons at the county fair this weekend - Durango Telegraph

With the judges handing out blue ribbons at the county fair this weekend The Telegraph asked: “Wha'ts the most prized barnyard animal?”

Cody Baker	“A three-legged sheep because they are easy to catch.”	Kris Oyler
	“Hogs because bacon goes good with everything.”

John Marshall	“The chicken because they have an incredible amount of personality and they produce food almost everyday.”	Katie O’Block
	“The pig, because only a pig can walk around with mud on its back and not feel self conscious.”

Mattie Wyckoff	“The rabbit because they are difficult to keep clean, so the winner really earns their ribbon.”
