The Prize Goat
Los Robles farm, the eve of the county show. The goat that has won the milk class three years running spent the night in the stable, her latch across and her blanket on, as she has every night since she was bought. At dawn the blanket was still folded on the floor, the latch was still across on the outside, and the stable was empty. Nobody forces a latch that opens from the outside.
Exactly 3 of the 7 are lying

I was hanging around the barn. There was a man over in the barn. I was side by side with Rita.
♀Nora
Inspector for the county fair
I was hanging around the farmhouse.
♂Isidore

I would rather not say where I was, and I will not add to that. Neva is telling the truth, and I stand by that.
♂Bruno

The yard is where I was. I saw a man in the henhouse, that much is certain. In the barn, which I could see from my spot, there was one person.

Keeper of the hens
I spent that entire stretch in the henhouse. Nora is lying, and I stand by that.
♀Neva

Me? I was in the barn. I spent it on my own.
