The first show of the year is the Hamilton County Youth Fair in early January. This is a good warmup show and Taylor has won the show one year and had the reserve champion another year. The 2017 show didn't turn out exactly like we hoped for but it set the stage for the major shows to follow.
The Ft. Worth show follows our county show and brings the best steers in Texas to town for some serious competition. It helps that at Ft. Worth you show your steers in major breed classifications such as Angus, Herefords, Polled Herefords, and so on as well as Exotic crosses. Taylor and Presley showed Herefords and Taylor placed ninth in the middle weights this year and made the Sale of Champions for the third year in a row!
The kids didn't have any luck at the San Antonio show but at Houston Presley finally got old Sprinkles placed and made the sale. We think that was quite an accomplishment for a first ear showman.

Time to walk him, just follow me Sprinkles.

Ft. Worth show, heading to the arena. We didn't go to the show this year since we
needed to avoid the crowds for a little while longer.
doesn't spook them!
Making a F has never looked better. This was the third year to get branded
at Ft. Worth for Taylor.
Houston picture and Presley looks pretty proud!
Love this picture! That's a face of determination to keep that head up.
Wonder where she could have heard that?
Presley is posing with her Houston brand and is one happy girl!
The Austin Show finishes out the year. Taylor placed 5th with his red steer
but they only sell two per class.
Presley matched her brother with a 5th place in her class as well.
