This was one of the highlights for Adam at the fair. The Farm Bureau Insurance Company sponsors this at every little fair in the state of Kansas. I'm not sure if they do in other states or not. Here in Kansas, this is a pretty competative event. Adam won second in his division with a pull of 27 feet and 9 inches. The winner was a full pull at 28 feet.


This is Adam's baby. Sally is only about 3 months old and was born too late to qualify to show in the "Bucket Calf " division. She had to show in the Open Classes and earned a blue ribbon for Adam. He halter broke her with only a little help from the bigger kids.





You will not often see this sight again! Since Salena won the Dairy Showmanship, she qualified to show in the "Round Robin" for overall showman of the fair. That means that she had to show each species of livestock at the fair. She is allergic to lanolin-- the natural oil in sheep wool! As soo as she gave this lamb back to its owner, she was scrambling to get her hands wiped off to reduce the allergic reaction......
