Thanks chambero ! This year there were about 40 head in our show , down from around 50 normally . This calf has always been in my brother's barn , he was my niece's calf and was reserved for her from day one . As we talked about before , we lost her in an auto accident almost a year ago . A good family friend took the calf and showed him to help fulfill a promise my brother made to his daughter that she would one day win our county show . Dedicated to my niece Chris Jones !chambero said:Congratulations. In Texas, it's never easy to raise one good enough to win and then and get him in the right hands to get him fed/shown.
How big is that county show? I have my own selfish reasons (a couple in the barn), but I'm glad to see some Troubador calves starting to win as fat calves.
