Brownie and Zella Show for First Time

We traveled to  Denison on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend so Zella could get experience with Brownie.  It was their first time to be in the ring showing together.  We entered to of the three rings. Both did a great job!  They took Grand Champion in both rings entered.  Yeehaw.   Best of all Zella said she had fun.  Boaz was a super help!!  He was on target the entire time.  It was one of the most pleasurable experiences we've had in a long time.  Boaz is getting to the age where he knows what to do and Zella now has a an additional purpose besides being a cheerleader.  Here are some pics.

The Ride with RB

Boaz completed his first steer project on April 8th.  RB was out of Junie B - his second show heifer and by Charlie.  He was a good project and learning experience of us.  Steers are definitely different.  After we learned his ways, he was a big lug - dumb lug, but big none the less.  after Boaz went through the sale, they called him back to go through ring a second time because the buyer donated him back to the Youth Fair.  As we were waiting to go in we got this shot.

Other fond memories of RB.

Boaz's New Baby - Peppermint

Peppermint welcomed the world to her view on April 6th.  Firecracker finally decided it was ok to allow her to peek out and see the world. We are excited to meet her and Boaz is already making plans for his Peppermint. Firecracker is a good mom. 

Zella's New Baby - BK Definitive 6053D ET aka Brownie

Boaz and I went to Buck's sale in March.  We looked at several of the heifers and obviously were impressed but were sure we couldn't touch any of those.  Then lot 53 came in  she was marked as polled in the catalog, but was corrected as a horned heifer on the supplement.  She has new genetics for us and we are excited about the opportunities.  Boaz was super excited for Zella.  Zella went back with us on Sunday and picked her up.  She is now receiving lots of love.
