Not much help. But a show in Denton must feel amazing compared to the shows at the North Texas State Fair there in Denton. The Fair is held late August and is a beating. Crazy hot.

Anyways, hope that the cooler temperatures lend to a great show experience for all that go. Maybe I'll come watch.

Which brings up my next question. IS ANYONE GOING TO THIS SHOW?

 

[ffamom]

This is our favorite jackpot show of the year. Usually, it has a fair amount of people there. Here is a link to Grapevine FFA. They have the flyer you can download to this show as well as one in Decatur on December 6th. http://www.gcisd-k12.org/15942010201036 ... =0&C=86617

So i take it that you are going. What do ya'll show? Its quite a trip for us its over 4 hours if we dont get lost.

 

[ffamom]

It depends. Several of our heifers at being bred. If they settle, we will be at the show. Otherwise, we will be there watching kids from our chapter show.

I don't know if this show is worth the 4 hour drive. In our neck of the wood, there are more american animals. If you show angus, you may have the Satree's heifers in your class. I would love to own one of them.

My family shows american heifers.

We have one of everything. 1 Angus, 3 Herefords, 3 Maines, 4 Shorthorns, a chimaine, 3 Simmentals, a couple crossbreds. Our school buys the diesel so all we are out is Entry fee and Time

DENTON WAS GREAT... weather was beautiful (mid 70's) not much wind...and we came away with a few good placings.
The Champion Angus heifer belongs to a friend of mine in our chapter. I clipped her and got her fitted and was shocked when the judge pulled her out for champion. and then MY little simmental influence heifer(she showed under ORB) got Reserve Champion.... We took 9 head and never got worse than 3rd place so we did fairly well..It was a great trip and is on our scheduel for next year.
When we started back to oklahoma on Sunday night someone called me and told me it was 19 degrees with a wind chill of -1*. we drove through sleet and snow and our girls were a little cold.
The only thing i have to comlain about is the NUMBER OF BREEDS.. it was ridiculous to have 24 different breeds. We weren't used to having that many breeds. My dad walked around the barns and counted a total of 190 calves. WOW
