Kansas City Here We Come...

We spent last week in Kansas City at the Jr. Nationals Cattle Show. We had a lot of fun and the boys and I learned A LOT!!! From how to blow out a heifer, (blow them dry) what breaking them down means after they show (washing and blowing out), how to lead them, and how to set them up when showing. I have to say I was AMAZED watching the boys take it all in...they wanted to know how and why about all of it. Hunter took on the job of keeping the stalls clean if you know what I mean...see picture below. Not only were our stalls VERY clean~ everyone around ours were as well. They were certainly appreciative of that. :) Devin became friends with  Buttercup and Peanut. He enjoyed her eating from his hand. It was a busy week and a lot of fun!

After MANY attempts we have the right stance...back feet apart, front feet together, head up.
