Sheep Showing

At the end of July, the kiddos were able to help Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa at a couple different sheep shows.  The first one was at the Jackson County Fair.  We had a nice little surprise when some of our extended family showed up to watch!

Reba showed George Martin "her" sheep
Dallas had a grand time "tractor pulling" on the sheep trim table!
Not really sure what this look was all about...

Hey Reba, Smile for the judge!

We figured up that night, that we have been showing at the Jackson County open show for 18 (or more) years.  This was the first time we came home with the Supreme Ewe!
A few days after the Jackson County show, we were at the Morgan County Fair!  Reba wasn't feeling very well, so she stayed ring-side while Dallas helped in the ring...

Dallas is trying to figure out how this is going to turn out
Dallas fell in love with "Baby" the ewe lamb; thankfully, she was pretty tame and let Dallas "show" her


This is how Reba spent most of the show...
After the show was over, we stopped at Steak 'n Shake for supper...once Reba got a little applesauce in her, she was back to her old self!
Until next time...
