Beef today and pigs tomorrow...

 Mary's first year in 4H, and Simon's second.  Both got a blue ribbon for their white faced calves.  The judge said that he could tell they had worked long and hard on them.  "Good work!"
 David in cloverbuds looks good with his dad beside him. 
 It is good to see the young kids starting in the beef project.
 David had fun and looked good!
 Soon Rose will have her turn in a couple years with dad and mom at her side.  She really likes the cows and calves after watching her parents and older siblings handle them.
 Simon and Mary in the ring...
 They did such a good job and looked very relaxed out there.
 All that hard work paid off for a good year!
 A busy place today - the rain forced the work on the beef projects to be done inside the barn.
 We had a wonderful rain this year right during the beef show.  We need the rain, so we worked around it.
Getting ready for the show while the rain comes down outside.
 Comparing notes after the show...

 An early morning, rain and humidity made Mary curly and thoughtful.


 After a natural shower from the rain - the cows, calves and bull on the pasture by the driveway after the beef show.  One of these could be shown next year...  They were a peaceful beautiful sight this morning.
 Pastural scene brings Psalm 23 to mind. 
David wants to name this one Dexter, but it is pretty sure that she is a girl, so...

Ruth is home getting her kids cleaned up and rested for the pig show bright and early in the morning.  Busy fair days are tiring but fun and filled with memories that last a lifetime!  Nancy with her 3 will be here on Sunday for the ribbon auction.  She, too, loves the County Fair!  Bless-bless, Barb
