If you want to see one of the most exotic livestock stars being raised in the Empire State, be sure to visit the goat and swine barn early in New York State Fair to enjoy the limited appearance of those amazing llamas. 
Though these beautiful wool-bearers are native to the Andes Mountains of South America, New York farmers have found that they’re amazingly adaptable to local pastures.
The llamas’ visit features competitions and special events–one hilarious one on day 3 has the camel cousins parading around while wearing costumes, something you sure don’t see every day, so don’t forget your camera.
These wooly beauties will be at the Fair Aug. 22, 23 and 24 with the barn being closed on the 24th at 3 p.m. for their departure. You can check the Fair website for complete schedules.
