Agribition 2011: Supreme Show

It seems like year after year the RBC Supreme Show of Champions always has a hype that goes unmatched. The quality of cattle, the uncertainty of who is going to win, and the prestige that goes along with the title is unlike any other.

This year was no different. The quality of cattle was there, the panel of judges were all capable of the chanllenge ahead, and in the end there would only be 2 winners. With nearly 100 entries it seems like the show gets larger each year as the competition is so strong at all of these shows.

One of my favorite parts of the show is watching the champions getting slapped letting them know that they are the Supreme Champion of the year. This years reactions from the winners were great. I particularly loved the bull winner as she jumped up and down and just hugged her bulls neck.

The Supreme Champion Female went to Soo Line Angus with an Annie K cow. This female was actually the calf on her mother when she was crowned World Champion just 2 years ago and is co-owned by SSS Angus and Froelich.

You've Been Beiberfied

This story needs a little background information. When we were in Vegas this past February, I was given the nickname Bieber, yes after Justin Bieber. Now I want to set the record straight that I do not like the Biebs nor do I have 1 song of his on my Itunes, but somehow this name just kinda stuck.

While I was away in Regina all last week, "the Eng" and Brett decided to play a little trick on me. They went shopping and spent a night doing some decorating in my room. This is what I walked into when I got home last night.

I think it is safe to say that the joke is on me!

You Know You Have Made It When...

The last few months I have seen this #4 bus driving around Edmonton. With the help of "the Eng" I finally got a picture of it. 

I guess you know you are a big shot in the cattle business when you have a City of Edmonton bus that reads your farm name. Pretty cool if you ask me!

Christmas Cards

I am not really that big on Christmas cards, however, this year we all wanted to go together and take a picture of us roommates to send out to some family and friends. We pulled on our ugly sweaters and had some fun. Can't wait to see the finished product, but here are some samples for now!

Christmas Time In the City

I am not a Christmas fan, not really sure why, but it is just not my favorite holiday. Crystal and mom really get into the holiday spirit and I have been trying my best to join in with then in celebrating this holiday.

Part of me getting into the spirit of the holidays, I will be putting up my very first Christmas Tree this year! Usually I do not bother as we are at the farm for most of the time, but since I will be in the city until  December 24th, and coming back a couple days after Christmas I thought that it would be something fun to do. I promise I will post some pictures of my tree once it is up, but here are a few things that inspired me and my Christmas Decor!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

No it's not back to school, nor is it Christmas......... It's Agribition!

For purebred cattlemen there is not other time in Western Canada like Agribition. It is the combination of the best seedstock genetics in the country, mixed with some of the best people in our industry. Nothing can ever be like Agribition!

This year we are taking cattle out to show. We will have my heifer calf Southern Elle and our red bull calf Rival along for the ride as well as a cow/calf pair or two. Since we will be in Regina, and the barns are not the best place to be writing blogs, I will try my best to update on how the show is going.

In the meantime you can watch all of the shows and sales at www.cattleinmotion.com. Thanks to Cattle In Motion and Blairs.Ag for this opportunity to show what caliber of animals will be at this great show!
