So the first thing I must say is…. I SURVIVED ANOTHER QUARTER!!!
Now that I got that out of the way J… I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather as much as I am. I have even resorted to running outside. Yes, that’s right, I said running! But I’m trying to keep it on the down low because I would hate for my mom to know I’m actually trying to prevent getting the infamous freshman fifteen! However, all this nice weather is making me really miss the cows. We are currently calving and I have proceeded to miss out on all the show heifers calvingL. But on the bright side Fiona had a heifer and I am super super excited!
The past couple weekends have also been very good as far as shows are concerned. Two weekends ago Lauren took her Gamble heifer to the Kentucky Beef Expo where she was fourth overall! Then this past weekend dad and I made the trek to Harrisonburg, Virginia to show at the MAJAC. It was so muddy and nasty that I was starting to wish I hadn’t gone! However, I was pleasantly surprised when Tootie (my heifer from Bruce and Amie) was reserve owned heifer. So in other words failing chemistry was so worth it!
So I have also decided I am so excited for this summer it isn’t even funny! The show barn seems to have lots of potential this year, but we shall wait and see how things turn outJ. I have also officially decided to run for the National Junior Angus Board of Directors. It seems kind of surreal that my long time dream is right around the corner… boy time sure flies. This is something I have wanted for as long as I remember and it all comes down to one week and is decided by group of people I only have less than one week to get to know. I am already getting nervous!
Anyways… this weekend is the Ohio Beef Expo! I know it’s not that big of a deal, but since I am suffering from withdraw from cows its is super exciting! This year we are taking a Simmental sale bull… by the way his name is Chuck… Chuck Norris that is. I haven’t seen him for four weeks, but last time I saw him he looked sweet so hopefully lots of people in Columbus like him as well. Another change in Expo this year is that we have a trade show exhibit. I hear the banner is supposed to look pretty sweet so everyone should come check it out!
Well I think I am about to go out to the fairgrounds and enjoy the nice weather because I am so tired of being cooped up in these dorms.
Until next time…
