Drayton Show 2011

I meant to post these pictures from the Drayton Valley show last weekend, but life got in the way with a really busy week. Congrats to all the winners, it was a great show as always! There was about 70 head of cattle and 8 pens of heifers at the show.

Front Runner

Front Runner is a black bull calf of Crystal's. Each year it seems like this cow family never misses. Just like Signature Move, Front Runner is out of the CDY Signature Black 2N cow.

Front Runner is her natural calf this year. He is a mid January calf, out of the proven AI Sire Joker. This is a calf that we are pretty excited about. He brings some really great things to the table.

Front Runner was also named Bull Calf Champion at the Drayton Valley Show this summer.

Sweet Thing

While we are on the roll of Revolution heifer calves, I mine as well feature the other one that we are showing.

SLY Sweet Thing is a heifer of my own. As I mentioned she is also out of our herdsire IPU Revolution 172U

 Her dam is my baby, and the oldest cow on our farm WFL Miss Westway 669K, or Ruffles. Ruffles is one of our top producing cows. She now has 4 daughters in the herd, and has added #5 with Sweet Thing. Ruffles was purchased out of the Checkers sale as a heifer calf. She went on to be my 4-H heifer winning multiple titles all the way up to the Provincial level.

Sweet Thing has been to a few shows already this year. She was 3rd in her class at Drayton Valley in June, and recently was 4th in Class at the Simmental National in Brandon.

Drayton Valley Show

This weekend we were are the Drayton Valley livestock show. This show is our local show, that our family helps to run.

We usually take a string out, get the calves used to being off the farm, and ready to go to shows later in the year.

We had a great show. There were some excellent cattle, that will be really tough later this year. Here are some of the animals that we took to the show.
