2013 Alabama State Junior Livestock Expo

Well, we finished up the show season on a bright note.  We all had a great time at the state show and the girls did well.  Sydni was fourth overall in her showmanship division and Olivia was third.  Showmanship is always very competitive and to finish in the top five is always an honor.  Olivia's steer fell into the last class of medium weights at 1290 lbs., she was third in the class that produced the champion and reserve medium weight steers.  She was selected fifth overall steer in that division and champion charolais steer of the breed show.  Sydni's heifer was in the toughest class of the whole show and stood fourth.  It's disappointing when you have a good heifer and stand fourth, but she was fourth behind three very good heifers.  Congratulations to those exhibitors.  Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes, we'll get 'em next year.  Looking for the next great one and time to start all over!!!

BREEDING, BREEDING, BREEDING!
Fall breeding season has been in full swing.  This year our list includes Master of Puppets,
I-80, Unstoppable, and Believe in Me.  Hope to be finished by Christmas.  Maybe Santa will bring me a great conception rate (up to me) and the clean-up bull will be Out-of-Luck!
STOUT !!
Believe In Me x Purebred Angus.  Wasn't sure about BIM on Angus cows, but it worked.  I'm a Believer!  These bull calves are impressive.  Lots of fuzz, bone, and butt!
