The Miracle of Birth at the Minnesota State Fair

According to this Slate piece, those people arriving early to next week's Republican National Convention have a special treat waiting for them at the Minnesota State Fair. This year's fair features a new Miracle of Birth Center where visitors may witness the miracle from the comfort of the bleachers--cow births, not human. (Just to be clear.) The fair is making this an educational and comfortable experience for visitors as well as a safe and dignified experience for the livestock by instructing volunteers with specific protocol for the births. Don't worry: Should any emergencies occur, volunteers have been instructed to move the animals to a curtained area so as to not "freak people out."
