"Don't forget their papers"...I am a two year "seasoned" stock showing Moma..I don't forget things. Well, most of the time I don't...but I forgot to get the "girls" health papers...that forced a u-turn and back to our vet we went. He very promptly wrote them, after of course I bribed him with a handful of M & M cookies. I hadn't forgotten everything, we all had underwear, clothes and socks. We arrived in plenty of time, cone shaped hats and all.
Our first showing adventure was a contest put on by Showmaster Feeds....Oldest's heifer was perfect...right up until they set up in the ring...that's where her ugliness began. She would kick at the show stick and refused to set up. She was not going to stand another minute! Needless to say, Oldest kid was not pleased.
They both showed their "girls" on Monday morning & didn't place too well. Junior Kid went immediately to the goat ropin' after showing his heifer. He was much more interested in Chicken on a Stick, Cinnamon Rolls, Pork Chop Sandwiches and roping kids at the stock show than he was in his heifer. But when we arrived home we were GREETED BY MORT! Sharp little teeth and all! It's good to be home.
