Dairy Heifer Show

A New Family Adventure
Arkansas/Oklahoma State Fair

I think Andrew likes the Jersey heifers the boys
gentled down to show.  Josh and Andrew, along with
their Mom, Dad, and Grandpa spent many hours 
preparing for this day.

The picture above is like a sweet blast from the past.
Katie working with her daddy at a heifer show.

No comment needed here.

 Nathan is entertained no matter where he is.
He is playing with a new birthday gift....Star Wars - 
with a heifer right beside him in the dairy barn at the fair.
  He is a happy boy!

 The boys are doing what they came to do, and 
doing it well for first timers.
 Check that Red Ribbon out in Josh's back pocket.

 All of us were tired by this time.
It was hot and dusty.

 This was another class they showed in.  The judge liked
the boys three heifers on the end, but no way could they compete
with the much older, larger heifers.
 This is a crew.....I love all of these guys.
They won a red ribbon and a few blue, but the 
important thing is the experience gained.
Showing cattle is a family affair...
Quality family time.

Okay, okay.....I stole this picture from Katie's facebook.
I just love the look she captured here. 
Looks like some very contented young heifers.
