It is once again that time of year when the Dairy 4-H clubs are getting ready to have their achievement day. The last week has been pretty crazy here. We have been working hard on getting the final touches done in training our calves and have begun clipping them the last two days. Our first show is tomorrow in Lethbridge. I won't be showing there myself due to not wanting to miss too much school in the next few weeks. My dad, sister and the exchange students took 5 calves down to this show. Next week, is the Leduc Dairy Congress in Leduc. My older brother and sister hope to take the calves up on Tuesday and then the Junior show is Wednesday night. I am hoping to make it to Leduc sometime after my first class on Wednesday. It gets a little difficult to be able to make it to all the shows when your still in school. But I just work it out however it can be most easily figured out! Well, Friday we will be kept nice and busy with the open show.
On Saturday we have a bit of time to rest again, but the the following week, we will be working on doing the absolute final touches with our calves of rour 4-H achievement day. We always show up in Rimbey around noon on Friday so that we can have our clipping competition that night. Everyone just camps out at and around the barn and then on Saturday we have the actual show! If you would like to come, feel free to drop by to check out how we do it!! I will let you know the actual times a little closer to the date!
Well, I guess I should probably get back to work. There are still a few calves here that need to be worked with! Let me know if you have any great training ideas or advice!!
