I really don’t know what to write.  

      We are in the middle of the Woodward District Jr. Livestock Show.  Friday found some kids and I on several radio stations promoting the Ag Mechanics show.  Saturday was the Ag Mechanics show.  The entries were up and the quality was way up.  Shattuck did well.  The sponsors did great!  The prizes were awesome.  And we got to start a scholarship program just for the Ag Mech show.  I’m proud of what we are building with this program.  

     Sunday was the barrow show.  Excellent quality.  And not just on the top end.  Every hog was well fed and well presented.  In the current stock show game, there is no room for not having an animal fed right and shown right. 

     On Sunday evening, I was headed west towards Shattuck.  We heard a weird noise and then the air pressure monitor started a countdown towards zero.  We had blown a tire.  I had a freshman student with me.  He is the kind that makes you realize that ADHD is written in capitol letters.  He stays wound!   But I quickly realized that he was the perfect kid to have when changing a tire.  He was all over it…. like a spider monkey all jacked up on Mountain Dew playing NASCAR pit crew!  

       Now on to a couple of days of shearing wethers–goats and sheep.

Have a good one.
