About this listen
The Blue Ribbon Miracle is a story about a county fair in South Dakota, where a modest cow named Daisy defies expectations. The narrative begins on the Larson farm near Aberdeen, where Daisy was born small and struggling to keep up with her peers. Abandoned by her mother, she was rescued by 12‐year‐old Emma Larson, who nurtured her with unwavering love and dedication. Despite being underweight and clumsy, Daisy gradually grew under Emma’s care and was transformed into a determined competitor. As the county fair approached, Emma entered Daisy into the livestock competition, defying local expectations. Amidst massive, muscular cows that impressed the judges with size and symmetry, Daisy appeared unlikely to win. However, during her turn, she halted and let out an exuberant moo that resonated with the crowd. Her spirited display captured the hearts of everyone present, and the judges were moved by her resilience. In a surprising twist, Daisy was awarded first place. Upon returning home, her family realized that true worth lies in heart and determination. Daisy’s victory became a local legend, inspiring others to believe in the power of perseverance and the beauty of the underdog’s triumph. This tale inspires us to never give up.
