Well, Premiere it is! She'll be the first kid in the sale ring tomorrow. For those not familiar with 4H market animals, Premiere Exhibitor goes to the kid with the highest composite score between Skillathon (knowledge demonstration), Showmanship (hands on with the animal), and Market (meat condition of the animal consistent with the breed). So it's a fairly prestigious award in the scheme of things. Pretty proud of her to say the least!

What a three day tornado

Between multiple sports games among our three kids we got 2 pens (6 chickens), 1 standard cock and 1 pen of 3 meat rabbits checked in and settled at the fair.

Sunday was poultry day.
5th in standard showmanship
3rd in Meat broiler showmanship
Below 10th for the two meat pens

Today was rabbits
1st in Jr Showmanship
Her pen didn't place in her class.

Saturday is dog day with obedience, rally and agility.

Box stalls are 75% complete, just have headers and barn wall boards to install. Oldest 2 have decided on feeder calfs for projects next year, hogs as a backup for Ty and Myles choosing fishing for his backup. 40' Cushman's Round Pen is on the radar for a close, safe area for breaking/tie out/washing/etc. View attachment 201257

Let me know if Myles needs any pointers

Tis the season for planning. Oldest 2 are still on track for beef feeders, and Wyatt landed on Basic Gun Safety after debating rabbits. Would like to see him take chickens, but he is not a fan at all. He got a Red Ryder bb gun for Christmas, so it works, as he always said he didn't want to take an actual project after cloverbuds😁.

Calfs are coming from a friend's farm, same pastures & herd we get our freezer beef. They have 21 pregnant, 75% natural/25% AI and are due to start dropping anytime. Spoke with him yesterday and it was great to hear they'll keep em on mommas until Apr./May. Now I just need to convince him to halter break lol.

Still have a lot of equipment/supplies to acquire but the biggest 2 are home. 16' stock trailer and 40' round pen (inside trailer). Went with Cashman's Std. horse design which is heavier duty, square corners (animal can't wedge between panels), and Rodeo latches (can't hang up halters/leads/ropes). That place is worth the drive to Delaware, OH!.

Last big decision will be do we bring em home after fair or sell in back 2 farm auction. Going to wait and see if we get steers or heifers, and ultimately how they look once growing, and if I decide I want to try and fence in some pasture. They will be the start of our small family herd. I'm leaning towards B2F auction so boys can get the higher $ this year to reinvest into next, and give me some breathing room on pasture work lol.
