We had another great week here at the ranch, and it was one of those weeks where everyone seemed to be headed in a different direction!
Anna and Kade did a fantastic job at Regionals in Filer. Samantha, Kade’s Simmental heifer, showed great all week and was a real trooper. Anna’s fall heifer, Baby from Nowatzke, was Reserve Champion in her division, her bred-and-owned heifer was Champion in her division, Kade’s DLX heifer won her class, and Anna’s Seldom Rest heifer placed 4th in her class. We’re proud of all the hard work these kids put into their cattle.
Jaxsen spent the week at football camp and had a great time. He was back home on Friday to help with chores, which was much appreciated.
Back at the ranch, Mom and I spent the week doctoring Cal’s leg. Mom, Dad, and I handled the horse chores while the men took care of the cattle chores. Ben kept busy working on circles and helping where needed.
Kaine spent the entire week in Yakima practicing for the East vs. West State Football Game. On Saturday, Mom, Dad, Ben, Jaxsen, Terry, Erina, JayCee, and I made the trip to watch. The game was awesome—although it was definitely HOT! Kaine and Max, the two boys representing Connell, had a great experience and made some memories they’ll never forget.
After the game, we headed home Saturday night and got chores done before calling it a day. Toni, Anna, and Kade wrapped up showing and made it home around 11 that night.
Sunday was spent celebrating the fathers in our lives. We’re thankful for the dads, grandpas, and father figures who teach us the value of hard work, integrity, and perseverance every day.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
As always, thank you for following along with our ranch adventures. We hope everyone has a great week ahead!
