Of all the breeds of livestock on display at the New York State Fair, sheep may be the most visitor friendly. 
Signs on the pens tell you they may bite, but they rarely do. Still, ask permission to pet them. If you do, you’ll be rewarded with a luxurious experience as those curly heads are soft and supple.
The ewes and rams are also quite visually appealing, sometimes wearing cloaks to keep them clean. 
There is often some shearing going on and that’s fun to watch as well. The kids in your party will enjoy hearing the sheep bleating, their shrill cries almost human-sounding.
The barn, really just a roof overhead, is a great spot to duck in from a shower or to avoid intense sunshine. Really, you can’t beeeeeat it.
