Last week was the Tri-County Fair in Monte Vista. Bailey was so excited to show her lamb, Johnny. We had to check in on Tuesday, and her show wasn't until Thursday, so we had plenty of time to get Johnny ready. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of us shearing....that was a sight. But this is Bailey washing him before the show. Dawn dish soap works well! It was amazing to see how clean he actually got, and what a difference it made.
This is Bailey holding on to Johnny in the show....he weighed in at 114 pounds, and was in a class with seven other market lambs. Just as they entered the ring, Johnny tore away from her and ran off....so Bailey ended up having lots of help to keep him standing. Poor girl....she was so embarrassed that she cried the whole time. But Johnny got third place in this class and we learned so much.
And this is the night of the Junior Livestock Auction. Bailey kept the halter on this time to avoid any embarassing moments. She ended up getting $800.00 for him....and has said that she can't wait for next year. Good job Bailey, we are so proud of you!!!
