Spring Spectacular
This weekend was fantastic! It was our spring Jersey show in Viroqua and it was really cold. I placed 5th in junior showmanship. I used Jackie for showmanship. Friday night was the sale. My grandpa and I bought 3 heifers. Lola is a August summer yearling, Satin is a fall calf and CJ is a December calf. I showed Lola on Saturday. She was 14th out of 35-40 summer yearlings. That was really good for her because she didn't even put on a fill Saturday morning and she had a bad clip job from the sale. I think I can get her to grow and be able to do good this summer. We didn't show Satin because we bought her from the judge. CJ was too little show right now. Showing Jackie was AWESOME! She was 6th and 1st junior owned animal. The heifers that were ahead of her were full age, and she is an April heifer. One of the cows in the string was reserve intermediate and reserve grand champion. Her name is Flirt. I got to help take a professional picture of her. I got to hold the tail down for the picture. That was my first time helping to take pictures. I'm going to work on learning to clip by starting to clip heifers at John's.
