🐄 Calhoun County Fair Cow Hunt - CLUE #3 🐄

My pasture is getting smaller…

Turn the clock back some years and stand where the heart once traded.

Iron for the hand,
cloth for the home,
and plenty more passed through its doors.

But don’t search where yesterday did business—
a wandering cow knows better than to follow the herd.

Find where 1983 would send you,
then let your eyes disagree with your feet.

What you seek is not where the answer stood,
but where the answer looked. 🐄🔎

Hogskin Holidays has the popular pig 🐷 hunt!! Who’s ready to “Find the Beef”? That’s right Calhoun County Fair is introducing the County Fair cow 🐮 hunt!! Let’s go!! I can’t wait to see you all out an about this week trying to corral that cow!!

🐄 Calhoun County Fair Cow Hunt - CLUE #1 🐄

I’ve wandered away, but I haven’t gone far,
No pasture or fence tells you where my feet are.
Though country at heart, I’m not roaming the range,
I’ve traded wide acres for boundaries strange.

Where fields become streets and addresses grow,
There’s an invisible fence only maps seem to know.
I’m somewhere inside it - but where could I be?
That answer comes later. For now… find my boundary. 🐄🔎
