Hey guys I know Braden will get on here fairly soon but just wanted to beat him to it!  (thumbsup) If you have followed his post any their county fair was this week and the steer show was tonight at Grimes County Fair in Navasota, TX. Well to start the week off his yellowjacket calf that he has been workin so hard on either twisted or sprained a knee after we slick sheared him and was limping with a swollen knee and elected to not show him with a possible appearance at the state fair. But the week got better as his brother and him had the Champion and Reserve Champion american steer with calves they raised! Thats two years of success with their Purple Pride Cattle. (this kid hasnt even started acquiring crossed club cows just older good milking american cows on sim/angus bulls-honest cattle) Braden (showstopper 95) was Champion American and senior showmanship while his brother was Reserve Champion american, Junior showmanship champion, and placed his captain morgan calf from Sam and Rusty Skinner 2nd in the heavyweight exotics behind the reserve champion which was a super good milkman from Jacob Tusa. These are some fun, hardworking kids to work with and for and just wanted to brag on them for a little bit!

Thanks for letting me ramble  (lol)

Kevin thanks bro and we are are honored to have you on our side no matter what and I appreciate your help more than I can describe. The American was 3rd overall and captain Morgan was 4th overall in the sale order. It was a good year yellow jacket or not

DCC thanks for the heads up. Congrats Show stopper 95  (thumbsup). Sounds like the Yellow Jacket was better than the Captian Morgan

thanks guys and i believe the captain morgans are better than the yellow jackets just a more practical kind of calf. They might not be near as atout but with the product of today you need one to be more functionable and correct than stout. In saying that I believe the captain morgan females will make even more of an impact than the bulls and steer calfs. IMO

For all the state and national shows it seems to me that it is always more fun to win local. Its where you live and are everyday. Congrats on a job well done! Its a good feeling especially when its one of your own.
