Shows:
Nationals in Texas. The 2014 AGM was held in June and it was great fun for us to actually get to sit and watch and learn. It was a long ride to Texas with some good friends, but we are sure glad that we didn't try to take animals that far. This year's judge was just great as he not only placed the animals, but made lots of educational commentary on why he placed the animals where he did. He took the time to talk to the juniors as well. All in all, some very nice animals and a great learning experience.
Wyoming State Fair. The beginning of a fast and furious show season. This show is near and dear to us - literally. The State Fair is held in Douglas, a nice little town that has been somewhat overrun by "gas and oil." For those of us hoping for lodging, it was a bit of a nightmare. Several us of managed to score the last rooms in town and although we expected that they wouldn't be the Four Seasons, nothing could really prepare us for the true meaning of a one star hotel! Stories will be told for years......
The show was awesome. Dexters from three states and five breeders. As usual, Calli did an awesome job helping us getting our Dexters ready as well as her own. She shines in the show ring! We love the friendly competition and camaraderie. Clean aisles, loaned equipment, and willingness to step in with a helping hand go a long way to making Dexters stand out as a show group. We had so many positive comments and plenty of interested folks in the stands to watch our little cattle strut their stuff. Can't wait for next year.
A very quick turnaround and we were off to the Nebraska State Fair.
