It's Hot in Oklahoma

6/21/2021

Early Saturday morning we loaded the cows on the trailer and set off for Duncan, Oklahoma for the Miniature Hereford Junior Nationals sponsored by the Miniature Hereford Breeders Association and the Miniature Hereford Youth Foundation.  

The 2020 Miniature Hereford Junior Nationals was cancelled due to Covid, so it is good to be headed back to the show ring.

It was going to be a long trip...and really hot, so at the last minute, we decided to hang over Saturday night in Buffalo, Missouri.  

​One of the great things about showing cattle is all the people you meet along the way.  Two years ago, when we were in Oklahoma for the Junior Nationals, we met a family from Missouri, and it has been great to meet back up and grow our friendship.  They graciously agreed to lend us some pasture space to keep our cattle overnight.

The Future Is Before Him

A couple of weeks ago, Isaac graduated from high school. 

As parents of our first high school graduate, it has been a little strange walking through the emotions.  To be honest, I have done much better than I ever expected.   He has helped to prepare us for this transition as much as we have helped him.

Isaac's senior year was not typical of most seniors.  He attended a very small private school and this year he ended up being the only senior.  A graduation ceremony of one is a little awkward.  The school also experienced a tragedy when their administrator passed away unexpectedly a few months ago and they finished the year without their leader.  We knew we were going to throw an epic celebration for Isaac, so we asked the school if we could just combine the graduation ceremony and the party all into one at our house since this was such an unusual year.  They graciously agreed and it was a perfect celebration of Isaac...and he didn't have to give a valedictorian speech!

    Hello!  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.
