Cow Show and then some

Okay I know it's been a week but I gotta tell you about the cow show. The first day of a cow show is all about waking up really really early after being up really really late. Ben and John get up and milk the cows and I show up get in the truck and fall back to sleep because I am lazy.

On the trip up to Ogden we listened to sports radio and now I'm back to watching the Jazz. Yes that's what I needed. :)I spent three days with Ben and John and I'm back to being the worlds biggest Jazz fan. LOL. Once we were at the fairgrounds the plan was to set up the clipping area, making room for the feed, create the bed for the cows ,and get the cows washed and resting in record time. I'll just post some pictures to help tell the story....

Our happy cows after the long day.

P1 was so not happy and would NOT lay down...I think it was 30 something hours before she finally gave in a got off her feet. Cows....

Ben clipping and fitting.

Day 2. We needed sawdust for the cows bed because what they gave us wasn't going to last long so the guys went into IFA and I got restless waiting so I pulled out the camera.(I know...none of that sounds like me)

Then it was forever later.....

And back to work.

Day 3. Chandra and Christain came in to help is out(Thursday)...THANK YOU! And Chandra and I took the early shift on show day and took care of the cows. These are some fantastic action shots of Chandra catching poop and looking great! :) (it was 3 am...there are reasons there are NO pictures of me...hee hee)

Christian showing his heifer. He did a fantastic job!

And that's about that. It was tons of work and it was fun. Annette got some great pictures and you'll have to check out her blog...except I somehow always look like a scary lady at cow shows. I have this problem… I like cow shows but on show day when it comes down to time to get things done and get the cows ready to go, I turn into a grumpy lady. Maybe grumpy isn't the right word, focused. That sounds nicer....I like to get the cows ready to go the way they should and I get tunnel vision when it comes to getting the job done. And believe me I have had to apologize on many occasion. Anyhoo, let’s not focus on the less wonderful points...let’s just say I'm grateful that I have people that put up with me and even say they love me. ;)
