It’s been a busy — and pretty exciting — week around here.
The boys are headed off to the FFA State Convention! Kaine will be receiving his State Farmer degree, which is a huge accomplishment and something he’s worked hard for over the years. Kade and Jaxsen will both be competing, and we’re excited to watch them represent. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.(These are last year pics)
Meanwhile, Anna is deep into finals week at college and will be home soon. We can’t wait to have the whole crew back together again — especially heading into the busy summer season.
Last weekend we had a great time at the Jr. Angus Field Day and the kids had a really successful show:
🏆 Champion Cow/Calf Pair
🏆 Reserve Champion Bull
🏆 Reserve Champion Bred & Owned Heifer
🏆 Reserve Champion Evergreen Heifer
🏆 Anna also earned Reserve Champion Showman
And a reminder to those showing Evergreen heifers — they PAY OUT! Kaine came home with $300, which makes those banners even sweeter.
On the horse side, there’s lots happening too. Kade has been getting rides on Rip, our really nice 2-year-old bay gelding that’s offered for sale, and he’s also been legging up Gucci. It’s fun watching these young horses continue to come along.
Breeding season is rolling right along:
✨ Reba headed up to be AI’d to Brother Jackson
✨ Sally was bred to Jake Bennett’s barrel stud, Hercales
✨ And now we’re impatiently waiting on Nutter Butter to have our foal by John Holloway’s stud, PD
And probably the biggest horse news around here lately — we added a new stallion to the program last week: Classic Metal. We are SUPER excited about this stud and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him at KT Ranch.
Between FFA, finals, cattle shows, breeding season, riding colts, and everyday ranch life… there’s never a dull moment around here.
