I have been to a lot of fairs and I have seen a lot of livestock expositions.

Right when you step in the gate you are going to hear it. Just like any auction you will start to hear numbers over the loud speaker but this is definitely not a silent auction.

As you get closer to the joyful noise you notice the mariachi music is live and the musicians are dancing with the soon to be sold cows who are accompanied by women dressed in tight black dresses.
