Seeing farm animals is one of the major attractions at the Oregon State Fair. Promoting Livestock and Agriculture were the primary reasons that fairs were started. Please keep in mind, however, the real reason the animals are here is to be judged. After judging, animals go home, the barns are cleaned and new animals arrive to be judged. This process is called a change-over.
