My Calf Porsha

Last year (2016) I did Calf Club with a Friesian calf called Porsha. She had a nice coat but she would never lead for me. I go to Julie Pirie's farm to work on Porsha. I worked on my calf for 12 weeks until it was Calf Club. My first show was the Matamata Spring Canaveral Show. It was a horrible day for showing your calf! When we arrived there it was raining! About 30 minutes later the show had started. I felt nervous leading my calf over to the rings. First up was leading (worst for first). I was second in line. It was time for my lead and I felt like I could not do it. When I walked out of the leading ring I took a big breath. Next was Ella's lead and as soon as she finished leading it started to rain!






When everyone was finished leading the Judges were gathering up all of the points for the places. There were six places and all of the leads were really good! They started calling out the numbers until I heard my number get called out! I went into the ring with Porsha all soaked with my raincoat on. The Judge made us go in a long line and he mixed us up so we were where we needed to be. I noticed that I got 3rd! Then it started pouring down with rain! It came to Rearing time and we were all standing in the rain with our calves. The Judges judged us and put us in our places. I got 6th place! Then Dairy type came and we were standing in our rings waiting for the Judges to judge us. They lined us up and I got 3rd again!
