ExpoPrado At Rural de Prado: An Exhibition Of Uruguay's Agricultural Supremacy

Twice a year the Uruguayos come together to celebrate their Agricultural Supremacy at the "Expo Prado" held on hallowed grounds called the "Rural de Prado" in the barrio of Prado. During its week and a half long run just about everyone in Uruguay who does anything passed through. Even the politicans all stopped by. But this post isn't about them. Let us today focus the stars:

bestsheep

The first sight and smell encountered upon entering the fairgrounds was the best. Whole splayed lambs becoming asado.

hallofballs

Typical livestock exposition pavilion.

bulls

Back in old country the county fair had a substantial number of, mostly dairy, cows. The few token bulls on display in old country were well secured. Here in Uruguay, it is all about the bulls.

backstagebulls

Backstage bulls in transit to or from the sales block.

pradosheep

Sheep. Wool is the fiber of the future!

sheep

armysheep

Army Sheep!

moarsheep

Decorated Veteran Sheep.

smallkids

Goat with kids.

horsejail

Horse jail. Because while bulls can be dangerous, horses are assholes.

tinybirds

Tiny bird jail. Every single one has a "buy it now" price.

winningbunnies

The bunnies that won. These guys merely have a reserve price, offers entertained while the expo lasts.

ediblebirds

Edible birds. Unlike in old country this section is all chickens. No turkeys or doves.

pradopigs

Pigs. Particularly whiny pigs. Apparently it isn't polite to issue a SueeEEEEE if you aren't brining them anything to eat.

pradotaxi

Vintage taxi, now defunct US marque.

pradotractors

New tractors, wide variety of sizes. John Deere had some stuff on display too, but that was mostly law mowers an branded t-shirts. The distributor of Chinese tractors however left the lifestyle swag at home in favor of bringing hardware.

      Well, kinda how it works. Eat the young ones that don't exemplify the ideal as well while they are still tender.
