Last Sunday, I clipped a heifer. \u00a0I was sore on Monday. \u00a0Wednesday night, I clipped another heifer. \u00a0Little bit stiff on Thursday. \u00a0Friday, I clipped again on two more. \u00a0Saturday–not sore. \u00a0I guess I am back in cattle clipping shape. \u00a0But still fatter than I should be.<\/p>\n
Took a couple of first time cow showmen to a jackpot in Laverne, OK on Saturday. \u00a0Up early, blow heifers out, load chutes, load tack, load generator, load hay, load feed, it was 18 degrees. \u00a0Got to the show, couldn’t get generator started, found electric outlets, unload chute, unload tack, etc. \u00a0Rinse heifers, feed calves, tie them down. \u00a0Get them back up. \u00a0Blow. \u00a0Blow. \u00a0Blow. \u00a0Dang, it’s not warm. \u00a0Realize that you need to dress warmer for a cattle show.<\/p>\n
These two boys are accomplished sheep and goat showers. \u00a0 Both have won district shows, made numerous premium sales and have both been in the grand drive at OYE. \u00a0First time for a cow show for either one. \u00a0They were both wondering what in the hell happened to the inside facilities of a goat or sheep show but they neither one complained. \u00a0In fact, I think they liked it.<\/p>\n
Duke showed his first heifer. \u00a0Snow Bunny won a commercial heifer class. \u00a0He was in the hunt for res. champion commercial heifer. \u00a0There was an easy champion, then a judges decision between Duke’s white heifer and a red heifer. He chose the red heifer. \u00a0And in the overall, the commercial was grand and the res. commercial was 3rd overall. \u00a0It was a really good heifer show. \u00a0I agreed with the judge and I really liked the champion but I wouldn’t trade for Duke’s heifer. \u00a0Snow Bunny has cow written all over her. \u00a0I like those kind that look like they can generate. \u00a0These sheep and goat showers can show a heifer. \u00a0I was pleased watching the Shattuck kids. \u00a0Mikayla Hamaker and Hagan Sprouse can roll with anybody on breaking hair and showing. \u00a0Better yet, they are really good kids. \u00a0Duke and Clayton will never see a valedictorian award but those two can show anything and will outwork most. \u00a0I would like to see a line on scholarship\/job applications that has a box for stock show kids. \u00a0A true stock show kid can outwork just dang near anybody.<\/p>\n
Speaking of good looking heifers, I listened to a deal on XM radio this week. \u00a0They were asking Gerard Butler about kissing Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. \u00a0Which was the better kisser?<\/p>\n
His reply was Jennifer Aniston. \u00a0I haven’t had a chance to kiss either one but I agree with him. \u00a0It’s kind of like showing heifers\/does. \u00a0If you like fake tits, lips. etc\u2026..well, then. \u00a0Otherwise, that other deal\u2026. just\u2026.ages\u2026\u2026better than you or I\u2026but still looks\u2026really good\u2026not fake. \u00a0Dang. \u00a0Just really good. \u00a0Arguments? \u00a0I doubt it.<\/p>\n
Got to see a couple sets of goats on Sunday. \u00a0Some showmen have been working and some, not enough. \u00a0Duke has been working these common bastards that his ag teacher gathered for him. \u00a0They aren’t bad, just not good enough. \u00a0He is going to have to really work to make them good. \u00a0And as always, he will be better than most but not as good as some.<\/p>\n
Saw a deal this weekend that was scary. \u00a0Actually, it was barry scary!<\/p>\n
This flu deal is wicked. \u00a0Heard that a local pharmacy had sold 87 doses of tamiflu..in one day. \u00a0 Also heard of an area school canceling school for several days to try to break the spread of this crap. \u00a0I had a showman get sick Friday night, went to the urgent care and the doc told her to stay home for a week. \u00a0He was starting to ground kids from public for a week. \u00a0I can tell you for a fact that it is WICKED BAD! \u00a0There has been lots of occassions for various reasons that I have missed Sunday AM mass. \u00a0But, I do NOT remember a time when I was at mass and my mother was not. \u00a0And my dad was absent as well. \u00a0 These two people don’t get sick. \u00a0If they do, they don’t let it show. \u00a0 And they almost never miss anything. \u00a0And if they miss church, dang, they are no doubt sick.<\/p>\n
Brother Daniel took advantage of some OSU wrestling tickets and headed to Stillwater with his daughter Kevlee. \u00a0I would have loved to and should have made time to travel with them. \u00a0It’s been a year or two since I attended an OSU wrestling match. \u00a0 Instead, I watched as the Dragon Lady learned how to halter break calves. \u00a0She showed a sheep or two in high school. \u00a0She can coach goat showing as well as anybody I know. \u00a0Great with beginners. \u00a0And now, she has a heifer and a bull calf with well combed hair and both respond to the halter.<\/p>\n
King George is on the iTunes right now. \u00a0My favorite XM radio channel is the Garth station. \u00a0But even though he has his own station, he still refers to George Strait as King George. \u00a0And for good reason. \u00a0Is “Amarillo by Morning” the best song ever? \u00a0I won’t argue with you if you say yes.<\/p>\n
I’m done. \u00a0For now. \u00a0And you will be in a better mood if you crank up some George\u2026..right now.<\/p>\n
