We partially grew up on a ranch, so I don't think it was the actual witnessing of a birth that threw her off, but that it was such a spectator event.

PLF is the hipster among us so he'll have to look for her.
The Minnesota State Fair used to be really agricultural but now there isn't a Machinery Hill anymore and most of the people who attend are not from farms. So this is educational for the city folks. The reality of birth is a bit much for some parents/kids (the placenta coming out of a cow grossed out one mother) but I think the idea is great. There are cows, pigs, sheep, goats and hatching ducks.
If your sister is as into art as you, there is a Fine Arts exhibit (juried professional artists show) as well.
