Class in session: spring heifers

show1

A blonde and a Holstein walk into an open class ring …

 

 

show2

… followed a little later by a brunette and a Brown Swiss.

The blonde was intense.

Somebody told her not to take her eyes of the judge.

She wanted everything to be perfect …

… so the judge couldn’t take her eyes off the blonde’s heifer.

The blonde had a stubborn streak.

And she didn’t put up with any nonsense. When it was time to walk, that heifer walked.

 

 

show_advice

The brunette thought it best to ask advice.

She figured her daddy and her grandpa had tips that would make this thing a breeze.

She was so relaxed, she took time for a pre-show photo shoot.

But she never, ever considered letting her little brother show that heifer.

Even though he wanted to.

Badly.

 

 

show_entry2

The brunette, as it turned out, was just as intense as the blonde.

She took that Brown Swiss around the ring like an eight-year-old pro.

 

 

show_judge

She even had a nice little conversation with the judge.

 

 

show_second

And after that, she got to stand in the second place spot.

The brunette is very proud of her red ribbon.

   

And the blonde?

She received a purple ribbon on her photography project.

So the sisters’ ribbon count was equal.

Which is a good thing.

And the blonde wanted everyone to know that when it comes right down to it …

Girls just want to have fun.

That and …

“Hey, Mommy — this is really fun!”
