Well, its official we showed all the animals and man did we have a great day what a experience. I have to say that this momma is so proud and honestly just want to brag a bit. Cole won Grand Champion Lamb and Reserve in Jr Showmanship, Hayden won Grand Champion Steer Grand Jr showman with steer, Reserve Champion Lamb and Grand Jr Showman! How do you ever top that we came away from this year show with three belt buckles and three trophies. The best part of this is that the boys actually learned so much, it was the first big show with Big Red and man that beast was nothing but a puppy dog, he and hayden flowed together like no other it was a great end to such a rough couple of months. I obviously could not have done it this year with out Jared Tusa this man stuck by me the whole year and i am sure he wanted nothing more than to press the silent button when i called him lol! Thanks Jared. So we sold the steer at auction for 8100 dollars and the lambs together almost 5000. I am just so proud of these kids accomplishments all there long days in that barn have completly paid off, and by the way they were the most handsome boys of the show. The sad thing is a week following the show one of the participant in the sweetheart contest Amber Gay was tragically killed in a car wreck I keep seeing that girl ride that horse and participate so proudly and trying so hard. Bless her momma heart she was such a great life and its just so tragic she has passed at such a young age. Her brother jr was with her and he is in the hospital but thankfully going to make it. So now its on to the state fair lambs we will be getting them soon, the show is like in five months already thats really not that long. Anyways gotta run, hope all is well . love jess
