This was the first year for us in the bottle calf division and we can say we still don’t understand how the judges made their decisions. Yes, mom, dad, grandma and grandpa were probably biased but we all thought Chase had one of the best looking and best trained calves for his group. He just didn’t seem to have the “cutest” answers. Live and learn right? Next year we’ll know to be “cute”.
Here are a few pictures from the day.

Is it my turn yet mom?
Chase was happy and still wants to do a bottle calf next year. He’s also continuing on with his responsibility for Dozer which makes both is dad and I very proud.
Before we left for the day we let Chase enter the peddle pull. He pulled 41” which had been by far the farthest pull for the day. Unfortunately one other kid pulled 41 ½” feet & beat Chase out. He’s determined to practice for next year.
