Last weekend we went to a steer show. It was in Wooster, which is about 20 min. away, which might explain why we went a little nuts and took 4 calves of ours, and dragged along 3 other kids with 4 calves between the 3 of them. It's also a sentimental show for us - this is the first steer show that Jessie ever showed in, 2 years ago.
We started off showing with Tyler and Fabulous. Tyler got 2nd in his heifer class!
Then Jessie showed Fancy. And won her heifer class.
Both kids had to go back in for the heifer championship drive, where Jessie and Fancy got Reserve Champion Heifer (talk about knocking me over with a feather).
Then our friends' daughter, V, took Huey in to a steer class. Where she got 4th. Oringially Tyler was going to show Huey, but our friends had a mishap on the way into the fairgrounds and V ended up with no calf to show.
Then Jessie took Tank into the open show and got 1st place:
Jessie had to go back in for the Steer Championship Drive, where she didn't place. And then all the Wayne County steers turned around and went back in for the Wayne County Steer class, and Jessie got 2nd in the Wayne County class.
It was a crazy day, but a lot of fun.
It is so nice to see to Jessie and Tyler grow and improve every time they show. This past weekend we went to Ashtabula, OH for a show. The kids are enjoying this and both keep saying they want to go again (and again, and again). Me? I'm looking for a little time off now......I have flowerbeds and a garden calling my name!

I am glad they did so well! It is crazy that they have been showing for two years now-time goes by fast! You must be doing something right with both the steers and your kids for them to be doing so well in all these shows. I know it is great for their self-confidence. I am so excited that spring is coming!
