Wishing you luck with the training. And your show in 6 days. Can't wait to see your Red and Dun Calves with ribbons on them!

Good Luck :)

YOWZA! You should be having some really "WESTERN" times with those calves
and heifers!! They have enough size to make you work some to get them
to see things your way, follow where led.

With the yearlings you may want to wear your heavy boots or carry a boat anchor
in your pocket to slow them down some, tire them out quicker.

Looking forward to the photos, and wishing you best of luck at the local show and the Royal.

It shouldn't be much trouble if they are gentle to start with, but you will still be having a bit of fun.

Sounds like you've done this before, though. Hope 6 days is long enough for you.

Gosh! Congrats to your daughter for such a success!! Showmanship is the highest level, based on the kid themselves,
and to win at such a show is evidence of her hard work!!

Hope your face doesn't hurt too much from all the grinning. Ha Ha!!
