Today was the Cleveland Livestock Show in Cleveland, TX and Id have to say it was a big success. After hauling animals through severe thunderstorms at 5:30AM and running around to set up in the pouring rain, it went really well. I placed 2nd with my heifer, which I am happy with, then my big surprise was with my bull, who has been last every show because he was "too small to compete". Grand Champion Bull. And there were other bulls that I showed against too. Wasnt one of those Grand Champions only because there were no others. The judges exact words were "I am having a difficult time finding anything I dont like or would like to improve on this bull"
I am really happy with it, other than the awards they give. No belt buckles or trophies, but they gave backpacks (yes, little school backpacks) and garment bags. Apparently a lot of people were unhappy with this too. What high school student has a use for a little backpack or garment bag. I am OK with it though, the awards arent a big deal to me, I like the bragging rights that come with Grand Champion.
