 'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the farm
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The scoops were hung by the feed bin with care, In hopes that Farmer Dan soon would be there;

After a couple of months away from the show ring, we began our new show season the week before Thanksgiving at N.A.I.L.E..
Then, the day after Thanksgiving we started the new B.E.S.T. season. For those of you that are new here, the B.E.S.T. is a youth program sponsored by the Ohio Cattlemen's Association. The season begins in November and ends in March at the Ohio Beef Expo. We show approximately every 2 weeks at different locations all over Ohio. You accumulate points at each show and then a banquet is held at the end of the year to award the participants with the highest points in each division. 
The first show of the season is held in Lima, Ohio. It is one of the most attended shows of the season and it is always fun to see all the new cows. You never know what is going to show up, and it is your first look at your competition for the year.
It's Christmas time, and Christmas time means lots of gift exchanges. Gift exchanges can be stressful, intimidating and sometimes downright scary. What do I get? What if they don't like it? Will it fit? What if they already have it? Last week we had a department meeting at work and my boss explained all the ins and outs of the Christmas gift exchange to our new employees. To be honest, the whole discussion pretty much revolved around my gift. Because....our gift exchange revolves around my gift.  The first year I took this gift, I wasn't really sure how it would go over. After all it was very unusual and so different from anything anyone else had ever done.

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
