We had a blow and go show yesterday, the first real day out with the show cattle. My two younger kids showed, the oldest stayed at college to study for finals. Both kids drug 4 head, so 8 total, which about filled up the trailer!
This is the two January yearling heifers we are showing this year. Both are embryo calves, both are bred (the one in the front is bred to Optimizer and the one behind is bred to Uno Mas). The one in front won her class, and was in the champion drive:
This is the champion drive. Three of the cattle in that line up belong to my son, a September (Upgrade I have pictured, my daughter is showing her for her brother), his January, and his March calf (a friend, in pink, is showing her).
This is our daughter showing in showmanship. She won it, and was super happy! A brand new show halter!
My son's pair, tied to the trailer before class. They won Champion Cow/Calf Pair:
The other side of the trailer, these were my daughter's heifers and bull (a little September percentage bull):
Our son waiting for showmanship. He did really well, but did not win. It will make him try harder next time!
A great day for us. We took home 6 first places, two seconds, a reserve champion bull, Champion Pair, and the intermediate showmanship winner! And the kids earned $80, a cool camping chair, and a boot bag.
