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!!!

Another great weekend.  A little chilly but the girls had a good showing.  Both won their showmanship classes.  Olivia won Reserve Heavyweight & Reserve Grand Champion Steer, Champion Cullman County-Bred Steer, and Best Steer Girl Showman.  Sydni won Reserve Champion Chi Heifer.  Proud of the girls and their hard work.  See y'all at the District Show February 23rd.

We had a great weekend at the Autauga Agribition.  The girls did a great job in showmanship.  Olivia was 3rd in class with her steer.  Sydni was Champion Chi and Reserve Supreme heifer of the show.   See y'all at the Cullman County Steer and Heifer Show, Feburary 16th.
