Well, we had a great regional show with the South Central Regionals in Stillwater, OK. I thought I would share a few pictures of the kids and tell how we did. This first pic is our percentage heifer, Cookie. She is 5/8th Simmental and I really like her. Unfortunately, the judge really wanted cattle with good epd's, and since she has a small amount of clubby breeding in her (Who Made Who maternal grandsire), her EPD's stink, so she was 7th in her class. She is a May heifer, bred already to calve in January to Uno Mas. She had a great pelvic score and was 950 pounds when we bred her, and I like them bred before he hit the hot season with showing and all.
This is our oldest daughter showing her September yearling heifer (she is bred to One Eyed Jack for a Sept calf). This heifer is 4 generations deep in our herd, and was 7th overall bred and owned heifer last year in TX at the nationals. I do not like my bred heifers getting fat, so she was not fat enough for the judge but that is OK because she will come home and hopefully produce a nice calf for us. She is sired by Upgrade, and has a wonderful set of EPD's. She was third in her class, and in the hunt for top 10.
This next one is of my two middle kids, who happen to be in the same class with their bred and owned heifers...
