AND YOU HAVE BROUGHT LITTLE FRIENDS. TELL US ABOUT THEM. YES. SO RIGHT NOW I AM STANDING HERE WITH A PIGLET. HIS NAME IS ARNOLD, AND HE WAS BORN THREE DAYS AGO AT THE STATE FAIR HERE AT THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER. AND SO AT THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER, WE MAKE SURE TO HAVE OVERNIGHT STAFF 24 OVER SEVEN, JUST SO THAT NO MATTER WHEN THESE LITTLE MIRACLES COME ABOUT, JUST LIKE ON AMERICAN FARMS, WHERE THEY CAN ABSOLUTELY SHOW UP AT ANY MOMENT, THEY ARE ABLE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. CAN I WAKE HIM UP? WILL HE SQUEAL OR SOMETHING? OR HE MIGHT SQUEAL A LITTLE BIT, BUT YOU CAN TRY. DON'T WAKE HIM UP. OLIVIA'S LIKE, PLEASE DON'T, PLEASE DON'T. AND IS IT LOUIS? YES. THIS IS LOUIS. YES. SO TODAY I'M HERE WITH BLUEY, HE WAS BORN SIX DAYS AGO, JUST BEFORE THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER STARTED. AND WE AT THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER, WE TEND TO TAKE CARE OF THE BEST. WE TEND TO TAKE THE BEST CARE OF OUR ANIMALS AS POSSIBLE WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS. SO WHEN IT GOT HOT OUT THAT ONE DAY, WE SPRAYED HIM OFF WITH WATER AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF FANS GET THE AIR CIRCULATED IN THERE. SO GOOD ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MOM AND BABY IN THERE. AND I KNOW CALEB AND OLIVIA, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO BUSY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY BIRTHS THIS WEEK OF THE STATE FAIR, AND, YOU KNOW, LOUIS LOOKS LIKE A BIG BABY. HOW MUCH DOES HE WEIGH, I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH HE WEIGHS RIGHT NOW. IS HE BORN WITH, LITTLE HORNS? YEP. SO TYPICALLY, THEY'RE ALL BORN WITH A LITTLE NUB. YEAH, THAT GROWS A LITTLE BIT, TOO SOMETIMES FOR GOATS. THEY LIKE BURN THEM OFF. YEAH. SO THAT WAY IT DOESN'T. THEY CAN'T HARM EACH OTHER IN THE PEN. OKAY, SO THIS YEAR, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. NO CALVES BORN, RIGHT? NO. THERE WILL BE NO NO CALVES BORN AT THE CHS. MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER. THIS YEAR. AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE H5N1 WHICH HAS BEEN FOUND THAT CAN SPREAD THROUGH LACTATING COWS. SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT AT THE CHS MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER, WE ARE KEEPING THINGS SAFE. SO EVEN THOUGH IT DOES TRAVEL THROUGH THE MILK, EVERYTHING IN THE STORE, ALL DAIRY PRODUCTS THAT YOU CAN FIND IN THE STORE ARE SAFE TO EAT AND DRINK. ALL RIGHT. AND YOU GUYS HAVE A LITTLE CHALLENGE FOR US. A LITTLE BIT OF LIVESTOCK TRIVIA RIGHT OVER HERE. OKAY. RIGHT OVER HERE. YOU GUYS HANG TOUGH. ALL RIGHT, SO SHOULD I PUT THIS DOWN? YES, YES FOR SURE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. WHAT DO YOU HAVE HERE? ALL RIGHT, SO GRACE RIGHT NOW IS HANDING OUT THE PADDLES. SHE IS GOING TO, ASK SOME QUESTIONS, AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO WRITE THEM DOWN. SO HERE ARE YOUR MARKERS. ALL RIGHTY. THANK YOU. AND HERE ARE THE COW QUESTIONS OR WHAT? THESE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO VARY FROM DIFFERENT LIVESTOCK THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE MIRACLE. BUT WE DID NOT GET A INDIANA. WISCONSIN. THIS SHOULD BE GOOD. YOU'LL GET ABOUT FIVE. HERE WE GO. WE'LL GET ABOUT FIVE SECONDS FOR EACH OF THEM. SO OUR FIRST ONE IS WHAT DO YOU CALL A GOAT BIRTH? YOU HAVE THREE OPTIONS. YOUR FIRST ONE IS KIDDING. LAMBING OR CALVING. SO YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO WRITE DOWN YOUR ANSWERS. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW THE CAMERA WHAT YOU HAVE. WHY THIS IS SO EASY FOR ME. OH MY GOSH, GOT TO BE KIDDING KIDDING. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME AIDEN. THEY BOTH GOT IT RIGHT. GOATS. ALL RIGHT. HUMANS ARE CHILDREN. ANYWAY, OUR NEXT QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS IS WHERE DOES MINNESOTA RANK IN TURKEY PRODUCTION. YOUR OPTIONS ARE 23RD, 14TH AND FIRST. ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER, COULD YOU SHOW THE AUDIENCE YOU GUYS ARE BOTH CORRECT. MINNESOTA, MINNESOTA GROWS AND HARVESTS THE MOST TURKEYS IN THE US. OKAY, NEXT. ALL RIGHT. YOUR NEXT ONE IS HOW LONG ARE PIGS PREGNANT? YOUR OPTIONS ARE 117 DAYS, 150 DAYS, OR 125 DAYS. IF YOU GUYS ARE GOOD AT MATH AND YOU KNOW THE TRICK, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THIS PRETTY QUICK. I DON'T KNOW, I'M GONNA GUESS. OH, WE GUESS THE SAME THING. ALL RIGHT. IT IS 117 DAYS. A LITTLE TRICK TO REMEMBER IT IS IT'S THREE MONTHS, THREE WEEKS AND THREE DAYS. PIGS ARE VERY RELIABLE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT. ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE SOUND GOATS MAKE CALLED. IS IT BOOM BLEAT OR BAA. LAMBS BLEAT SOMETHING ELSE. BOOM BLEAT OR BA. YES. THERE'S A TRICK WITH THIS ONE. IF YOU GET IT WRONG, WE'RE GONNA HAVE YOU MAKE THE NOISE. OKAY ALL RIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU GUYS, YOU BOTH GOT IT RIGHT. ALL SPECIES OF LIVESTOCK HAVE NAMES FOR THE SOUND. THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THEIR SPECIES. WE GOT IT. YES. SO OUR NEXT QUESTION IS. NO GOAT SOUNDS. I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO. YOU DID BOTH SPELL IT WRONG. SO MAYBE YOU DO HAVE TO BLEAT. NAH THAT'S. IS THAT A GOAT OR A SHEEP? WELL, A SHEEP IS BOTH. SO A GOAT IS RIGHT. NO. NOT SO. THIS ONE. REAL QUICK. ONE MORE. ALL RIGHT. QUESTION. SO WHAT ARE THE TWO USES FOR DAIRY CATTLE ON FARMS? YOU'RE GOING TO PICK TWO OUT OF THE THREE DAIRY WOOL OR BEEF. REMEMBER YOU NEED TO WRITE TWO ANSWERS DOWN. WHAT DID YOU SAY THE SECOND ONE WAS WOOL. OH ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS BOTH GOT IT RIGHT, CATTLE ARE ON DAIRY AND BEEF FARMS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY. DIFFERENT BREEDS OF CATTLE ARE USED FOR THESE TWO DIFFERENT SEGMENTS. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE ONE THAT IS A DUAL PURPOSE AND GRACE. WHAT IS THAT BREED THAT IS A MILKING SHORTHORN. THEY'RE A DUAL PURPOSE. SO THEY CAN BE USED FOR DAIRY AND BEEF. ALL RIGHT. GREAT.
