Miracle, the 18-year-old Pinzgauer cow from the Boyer Farm in Oakville, looks out from her pen at the Grays Harbor County Fair, in Elma. “She’s sweet,” Lexi Boyer said as she sat with her family across from their beloved Miracle. “She’s 18 and she’s spoiled rotten.” Donna Boyer, Miracle’s owner, said her 6-year-old grandson showed the cow. The fair made a separate competitive class just for Miracle called “The Oldest Cow in the Barn” class.

The good news for the people on the short stands at the Jodesha Broadcasting stage was despite the hot day in Elma, the well-dressed men weren’t affected and they gave the performance their all.
