Well, we are now at the county fair, of course it has to be the hottest week we have had so far and everyone's animals are feeling it.
We will see how the judge this year likes the gerts, last year he said she was a nice heifer but too much ear, I had a hard time keeping my mouth shut on that comment since she is a gert and gerts do have alot of ear.
Our son is going to have his hands full this year, he has 4 calves to show, the heifer, cow/calf pair and his steer. Before he has just showed a heifer and steer. I think he is stressing, I tried to tell him not to worry since the gerts don't take much to get ready to show but he just doesn't see it my way.
We took our first cow/calf pair this year, hubby is about to go bonkers worried that the calf will get stepped on, or that something will happen to him. he left at 6 this am to go check on him. Tried to tell him that the calf would be fine, but he just needed to see for himself.
Wish us luck.
