Show Season
Have you ever heard the cool summer morning on your tired bones?
Brisk air as it breezes by your ear?
Or the low bealler of hungry cattle fill your ear?
Have you ever felt the loading of the trailer as you take off for a show?
CLANK! CLANK! Of the cattle as they squirm and struggle to get into the trailer and rock the whole rig?
Have you ever tasted the dew of the wash rack?
It’s wet. Many flavors fill the tiny space that managed to fit 20 head in. Water comes at you from all direction and it’s almost impossible to stay dry.
Have you ever smelled the freshly washed and blown cattle?
Smells sweet like a dozen daisies in a field, or like your favorite perfume.

Have you ever seen the champion pat on the back end of your cow?
It’s like seeing your favorite tv show for the first time in four years.
It’s like seeing you best friend you haven’t seen in forever.
It’s the best thing. As you know all your hard work paid off. And then you're off to the next show to do it all again
That was fantastic! And, it's extremely true about getting the cattle into a trailer.
