This is too funny, I just had this same talk with my son tonight.  We've had a bad last three months and last year his fair was awful.  He threw up for five days straight the first day of the fair and missed it all so we were hoping for a good year this year given all of our other happenings but...

baling wire and duct tape.  Will fix about anything.  A bag of twizzlers is a good idea too!  ;D

No picture of the goaty, it was way too bad.  I didn't want to humiliate the little critter plus I didn't want brittnie to feel any worse.  I did get pictures of britt showing but not up close.  ::) Brahmergirl Thanks CAB!  I think I was just put up with men for the day as my poor son is...

Sorry I got side tracked and forgot the rest of the story about the mysterious green stuff.  Come to find out when the kids were getting stuff out of the box, they tipped over an entire bottle of Coppertox for my horses feet and it was EVERYWHERE!  ON lead ropes, in the bottom of the show box...

OK, I had the most humiliating show experience ever this last Saturday.  My great niece has a goat and so does my son, well her mother is going through a divorce and so I thought it would be good for her to go to this little goat jackpot this weekend to get her out of the house.  This is her...

nope, they literally look like little immature trumpet vine flowers.  You know the red looking flowered vine that grows and grows and you can't get it killed out and it attracts the bees and stuff?  They just look like little nubs or abcesses.  They are just too funny looking! Brahmergirl

It looks like it fits perfect!  Oh you have made my day Linz!!!! I have had a terrible weekend and monday and so that is really a positive thing for me!  Thank you for the picture!!!! (clapping) It looks good on her, she's a pretty little calf!!! Brahmergirl

You know, that's how my friend's husband told me to back one.  He said put both hands on the bottom of the steering wheel and whichever way you want the trailer to go move your hands in that direction.  Worked like a charm but then I graduated and just turn the wheel from the top now and look...

I missed the ending, I was outside doing the many tasks of the evening and missed the last ten minutes but found out this morning.  Yes, I was shocked.  I thought Melinda was good but I thought she didn't fit the class though.  I kind of thought she was in a different class.  Probably because...

We have since then graudated to a 16' stock trailer and my husband kept trying to tell me the bigger the trailer, the easier it was but there was no way I was going to fall for his words of advice.  This is the man that would try to come out and help a few years later and it would just make it...

Nice Job!  Very envious of you! ::)

You know, I was thinking the other day, I've come a long ways on backing the trailer.  That was absolutely the biggest dreaded thing of the whole show animal thing.  Now remember I grew up in the city and never lived on the farm.  The most horrifying thing I had had to encounter in helping my...

That's Awesome!  Just look at that smile, it says it all!  Brahmer

My son's first year at the fair, the goat project was not a large one at that time.  Growing up in town and being in 4-H, goats were not exactly in my vocabulary nor my encyclopedia so a friend and I were standing there looking at these poor little goats that some little boy had brought to the...

You carry 5 gallon buckets in your truck at all times because you just never know when you're gonna need a lawn chair! (lol)
