SOCCER 2017

Fall soccer is in full swing!

Preston could hardly wait to play again!




Team Orange has some great players on it!




This one cracks me up.




It was SUPER hot for his first game but we are looking forward to the next one!
Hopefully it's just a bit cooler.

National Cattle Congress

We loaded up the trailer again this weekend and headed to Waterloo for the National Cattle Congress.



Peighton showed a feeder calf for Pemberton Show Cattle.



She took second in class and made it into the final drive.


Anastasia and Cinderella made the trip as well.





Cinderella took Reserve Champion Foundation Simmental and 4th Overall Breeding Beef.


Anastasia was SUPER ornery and danced around for most of the final drive!
But Peighton hung in there and she took Champion Hereford and 5th overall.


It was a great way to spend a Sunday!

Last weekend : National Barrow Show!


We headed up to the home of SPAM last weekend for the National Barrow Show in Austin, Minnesota!





Preston picked the wrong pig for showmanship - "Norman" is more of a sprinter than a cross country runner....
Preston did a great job but that pig was just too quick for the judge's liking...should have picked the one we call "Fatty," he's not fast at all!


The kids spent a lot of time in the pig pens.






Peighton loves her pigs and misses them now that they are gone!




This picture cracks me up.
They were supposed to just relax with their pig for a minute while the rest of the pigs came into the ring.
Peighton listened.
Preston (in the orange) is unable to quit driving his hog...he just kept going...



They both did well, had a great time, and brought home a new Spam shirt.

They can't wait until new pigs come in a few months because neither one liked bringing home an empty trailer.
Peighton told me "The barn feels empty without any pigs in it!"
Good thing she's still got her heifers to keep her busy!
