Fair Time

As you may recall last year was Garrett's first year in 4-H.  The forward thinker that I am decided we should start with something easier than livestock.  So, with Garrett's input we selected Entomology which turned out to be tons of tedious work.  So this year we turned to what we know and did bucket calves.  


Anna loves all kinds of animals and her calf, Midnight, was no exception.  Fortunately Midnight is a heifer and hopefully will join her Dad & uncle's herd when she is older.

 Dad and Garrett give Bumpy a hair cut before heading out to the fair.

 Anna's calf Midnight also gets a trim.

 Anna, lover of all animals, is in the sheep pin at the fair.

 Although Sam is not quite old enough to be a Tag-a-long 4-Her he did his share of poop scooping.  Just a guess it was more about moving the manure cart around and not so much about scooping the poop.

Anna with some of our favorite 4-H girls, Emily and Justine.  Unfortunately they have both graduated and moved on to KSU but we know we will see them around.  Thanks girls for your fantastic leadership and your time and patience with our kids.
