on Thursday, September 4, 2008

What an exciting day!!! Just a brief note to recap today's Prime Beef Festival Steer Show Results... you remember, the show we've been working for since January!!! Anyway.... I am the proud mother of 2 awesome little showmen! Brooke got 3rd in her class (showing her steer who hurt his leg and wasn't able to walk very well!) and Blake got 1st in his class which also led to him winning...

RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION!!!


We are so excited! We have a pretty full night tomorrow night and then again on Saturday morning. So pictures will be posted soon! By the way, I'm pretty sure that Blake is the youngest to ever win Reserve Grand Champion! A 7 year old, 60 pounder showing/handling a 1330 pound Crossbred Steer!
