On Sunday Ella and I went to the Matamata Show with our calves. There were about 89 calves entered from all around Matamata. For leading there was 16 people in my ring but combined with Jersey’s and Friesen's. Before leading I decided to go second because the sky looked like it was going to rain and I wanted to get it over and done with. After my lead it started to rain and some people had to lead in the rain! When all of the people had done there lead the Judges added up all of the points and picked the placings. I got 3rd place but the Judge gave me a 4th so I had to find the boy who got 3rd and swap them around.
Then we moved onto rearing. Again we were combined with Jersey’s and Friesen’s and about 17 people in my ring. When I was in the ring the Judge came up to my calf and felt her coat and her tummy but did not look at her legs and bum! Then after that they added up all of the points. I got 6th place!
After rearing we then moved onto dairy type. This time it was just Friesen’s in this ring. There was a girl in front of me and her calf keeped sitting down so the Judge had to keep coming to get it up again! For dairy type I got placed as 3rd again. It was a great day and it was my first show with my calf this year!
