After our double barrel fail to kick off the Summer in South Padre, the next big stop on the summer of fun was Belton Texas, home to one really nice livestock arena. The stadium seating and air conditioning are perfect for the spectators. The holding pens that led into the area were also super nice. It was so cold the steer and heifers were a little jumpy going from the Texas heat into a cold arena.
On year three of our adventure in the world of youth livestock shows, we have gone all in with a competitive heifer from cousin Jerry. Well it wasn’t actually one of Jerry’s cattle, but he knows a guy, and our little lady can turn some heads at the first show. We have what they call in the business a competitive animal. We are now the proud owners of a breeding Charlotte from an award winning bloodline. A major step up from the first show budget lamb Andrew.
Placing in our Class.
The plan was to spend a few days with our new prized show heifer at the farm before heading to Belton for the Jr Nationals Charlettte Show.
