2010 fair year

Hey guys! It has been an awesome year! At our county fair I got Grand Champion goat and hog! I also won my class with my steer. A week after that we went to the Gold Buckle GALA Extravaganza. There I got Reserve Champion hog and got to go in to Champion drive. Since we didn't go to the state fair we went to Florida! It was amazing! From our condo we could see the ocean. It was mostly our back yard. i LOVE crab legs! This year I played softball. Our team got first place in our league. Since school has started my whole schedule is messed up! I Love school this year.

AJSA

Hey guys I have been so busy! Its June and time to get cattle, goats, and hogs ready for fairs.Last weekend i showed up in Springfield. American Junior Simmental Association had a regional deal. I did pretty good for my first year. I got fifth over all in my division. In showmanship and all the other junior activities I had to compete. After seeing my dad A-I a couple times I think I know how to. Yesterday, I put my goats on a chariot. t helps build their mussel. Hook it up to a lawn mower before you do anything.

Yesterday

Hello, yesterday my dad had an FFA banquet last night. My sisters and I had school also. Today I am doing a lot. Like working cattle, softball, and a goat show. Hopefully i learn a lot and get some pointers.

A lot to tell

I have two goats, four pigs, and four show calves. A lot is being done around here. Plus I am excited because its the last month of school. Why the title is hog whisperer is because When I walk pigs I love on everyone and my gilt loves to be scratched on her stomach. When you do that, she will fall down and move her legs. All my other pigs have been looking good. My cattle have been good too. They are eating, leading, and improving everyday. My goats have good personality's. I can't wait till fair season.

A lot to tell

There is a lot to tell you. For a couple of weeks I have had 4 pigs. Their names are Tex and Carl I got from Texas. JR from Joe Roberts. My gilt Betty. Last year from the State Fair a girl I know from showing gave her pigs Doritos. I tried that, they did not like them so I gave them animal crackers. They like them. Five days ago we put one of my heifers on a donkey. The donkey trains her to obey,trust, and not to kill us. It worked. All my other calves are doing good. My steers are getting big and heifers are looking great.

Welcome Black Beauty!

My heifer that I did really good with had a calf. This calf is beautiful and funny to watch. Her name is Black Beauty. Last week was so BUSY! My dad had contests all week for FFA. My youngest sister is showing a bottle calf. She named it tiger because of his tail. He did not like the halter at all. On the 24TH there was a hog sale. I did not buy anything. Then there is another one on April 1st. I am at the point where I'm ready to get pigs.

Getting ready for Columbia!

This week at school we have started to do the 50 mile club. It is where you run a mile each day. At this point of time I am very sore! The main reason I am going to go to Columbia is to judge animals and have fun. My dad is taking me and his FFA Livestock judging team. When it comes to this stuff my little sister wants to tag along. I hope everyone has a nice spring break!
