Last week we were able to travel to Louisville, Kentucky to attend the North American International Livestock Expo. That may seem like an ordinary year for us...but this year has been far from ordinary. After the National Western Stock Show was cancelled, we were pretty sure that NAILE would also be cancelled. However, the show was to go on. We submitted our entries, ordered all the awards and made plans to head to Louisville. The closer we got to the show, the more the Covid numbers increased. But, we were fortunate and the numbers in our state were low enough that we were still able to attend.
Not long after we arrived at the show, the rumors started flying that the show was going to be shut down. We had worked too hard and come too far to be shut down...again.

As our boys get older and closer to graduation, thoughts frequently turn to what they want to do with their lives after high school. Isaac is a senior and is pretty close to pinning down a college and course of study. Isaac has always been adamant that he wants to be a farmer, but as he gets closer and closer to starting his future, he is realizing that it is virtually impossible to be a farmer without another occupation. So, his sights have turned to what he can do in life that he enjoys, but also earns enough to support his dream of farming. Walker, on the other hand, hasn't always been too focused on a career. He wants to farm, but just hasn't settled on that dream. Until one day...out of the blue...he said he wants to be a helicopter pilot.

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
