It's that time of year again. Time to nominate your cattle for the Best of the Buckeye.  What is the Best of the Buckeye?
It is a program sponsored by the Ohio Cattlemen's Association that recognizes cattle that are born and bred in Ohio. Why is this important?

A showman walks into the show ring with his cow all clean, fitted and looking fine. The showman isn't looking too shabby himself with his crisp, clean shirt, fancy show jeans, cowboy hat and boots to match. But getting to the show ring looking like a million bucks is easier said than done.  You see...there is a whole lot of poop going on back in those barns...
And it is no easy feat keeping the poop where it is supposed to be and not all over the kid.
Not long ago, a new trend emerged in footwear at cattle shows. It used to be that everyone wore square toed boots.
While boots will always be a fixture in the cattle industry, a new, more comfortable footwear item has stormed the scene. 
This weekend we took a little road trip. We have family in West Virginia that own a full-sized Hereford operation. We haven't been down to the farm in several years and happened to have a free weekend, so we decided late Thursday night to make an impromptu trip. We got up early Saturday morning and drove a few hours south.  We have been to one of the farms before, but it has been several years.
In fact, Isaac has bought two of his 4-H steers from this farm. |

AuthorHello! I am Heather... the city girl turned mom to manure loving country boys. My husband and I both grew up in the city, but spent weekends visiting grandparents in the country. We are first generation farmers who learn best by almost always doing things the hard way. I hope you enjoy following along with our adventures down on the farm. Archives
