Our mock show was Sunday , Ace had not been worked with since before Christmas so we weren't sure how he was going to do . Worked him for a few hours last week and the final day things clicked and he finally got it . Show went well and Matt did a pretty good job , Ace did phenomenal . Learned a ton about many different things so it was a fantastic day .If was a horrible day weather wise , snowed and rained all day and a lot of the animals (people too) were grumpy . ;-)
The tie up , getting them used to people and other animals .
Taking him out , leading and learning how to stand and set the feet etc.
This is the donation steer, last years brought in $13,500.00 for the Ronald McDonald house in Red Deer.
One thing us moms do is always feed the kids and dads very well , so as usual there was quite the spread put out from them and these are some cute cup cakes that were supplied.
The show and sale is June 1st and 2nd , so Ace will be getting clipped this week and then I will just have to touch him up before show. I am buying a blower , clippers etc , figure I will need them next fall anyways so I can work with him throughout the next few weeks and keep him clean , get him used to being shampooed .
There were a ton of nice looking steers there, a really nice uniform group for the most part . We still have a long way to go , getting him to hold hos head up , walking aside not in front but hopefully they will both get it by show time . :cowboy:
