Well, we had a good day today. The two youngest kids (10 and 8 ) took their show heifer from this year and next year's heifers to an overnight fair. The oldest had to go to Columbia to participate in the 4-H State Judging contest (she placed 4th in the senior division, and her team placed 3rd overall so they get to judge at the American Royal this year!).
Anyway, thought I would show some pics taken today. The first is a 6 month old embryo by Shear Force out of a Drake Lilo cow. She is owned by my middle daughter, and she won Champion Simmental Female (we were surprised because she is so young!). The pic was taken with my phone, so not the best.
The second pic is of my middle daughter's Upgrade heifer she has shown all year and has won a bunch! She was reserve Simmental heifer.
The third pic is my son's heifer for next year, she is a Fat Butt by our Bling cow (Built Right x Drake Lilo). She is just 5 months old and not on grain yet, so she is small and had not developed. I think she has a future, we just need to put some feed into her. She was second in her class.
The last shot is of my son's almost two year old heifer (she is a November). Nothing special, she is a Brooks Warrior and after calving we plan on using her as a recip. Be he loves her and she loves him, so she is fun to show.
The last pic is my daughter going into round robin showmanship. She won the junior showmanship so she had to bring her heifer back and show each species of animals there. She learned a lot with that experience!!! It was a great day, with several honors being taken home and a great relaxing day to end the season with for us (thumbsup)
