Stock Show Wrecks

Syd here has entered the sorority of girls (some girls being a bit long in the tooth now days) who have experienced the humiliation of a stock show wreck.  I mean, in front of God and everybody.  Her new Angus heifer, Agnes, hadn't been to town much and it was a bit too much...she wanted to go home immediately and at a rapid pace!  Thanks to a nice FFA advisor Syd was spared being drug...across town and all they way home.  So hang in there little stock show girls....we've all "wrecked"!  I once knew a Suffolk wether named Rocky....whose high school girl owner was working him hard during the Local International Stock Show....and choked him down, he flopped straight down onto his side.  High school girl was mortified...especially when it was suggested loudly through the crowd that "starvation" was the problem.....it was not! It was my Daddy entertaining the crowd and that high school girl was me.

  1. Sometimes we all need a little help with our egos and this would be the perfect example. Syd had giver her little brother WAY to much grief about his last outing with his new heifer. Then low and behold, she gets a little dose of the same medicine. AMAZING! God is good.......All the time!
