Wrapped up a great week at the Spokane Jr Show and now we’re loading up and heading to Ellensburg for another Jr Angus show this weekend — no slowing down around here.
The Spokane Jr Show was a good one. Kade had a strong week, landing 5th overall and 10th overall in FFA market, and his heifer topped it off as Champion FFA Market Heifer. Always proud of the kids and the work they put in. Even better getting to catch up with all our show friends — that’s what makes these shows worth it.
Anna ended up coming home Thursday night and rode over to Spokane with me on Friday. Then Saturday, Anna and I were right back at it — getting mares in, hauling them out with the studs, fixing fence, and keeping things moving.
Saturday kept things busy — JC had a 5-header calf roping, good job JC winning the 2nd round and making it back to Sunday. Then still made it to prom with Kaine that night. Jaxsen and Hailey went out as well, just skipped the prom part.
Back home, it’s been full speed as usual. Dad was working in Kahlotus and then jumped right into hauling Jaxsen around once that wrapped up. Jaxsen has been holding down most of the horse chores, while Mom and I have been busy with the colts.
Annie and Twiggs are doing great — getting turned out during the day and enjoying a little sunshine. Ben, Kaine, and Kicker have been handling cow chores, with Ben fixing circles and chasing water to keep everything running smooth.
We’ve had a few more foals hit the ground this past week, and Dad delivered a few bulls as well — just another week of juggling it all.
Wouldn’t trade this life for anything.
➡️ On to Ellensburg.
