Cambridge Show

Last Saturday me Ella and Makalya did the Cambridge Show with our calves. Ella and I had to wake up early and get ready because we had to leave at 7:30am to go to Cambridge. When we got out to the farm I got my calf and washed her quickly.

When we had finished washing our calves we loaded them up in the trailer and headed to Cambridge. My calf did not poo in the trailer so I did not have to clean her when we got there. I had to go and register and my number was 26.

First was Leading. My calf just wanted to eat the grass so it was so hard control her. When I went into the ring she was being really sloppy so I did  not get anything. I was so happy though because Makalya got 4th out of twenty-seven people.

Next was Rearing. When I walked into the ring, there were so many people that there had to be people in the middle and calves were pooing over each other so it was really messy. When the judge came up to me, he asked me what my calves name was, when she was born, what diseases they could get and what would you do if they got a disease. After he judged everyone and made up his mind he put people in their placings. He put Ella in 1st and me in 7th. I was so happy to get a place in rearing because that's my strongest event.

Last was Diary Type and there were seventeen people in my ring. When the judge judged my calf he kept looking at my me so I knew I was getting something. Then he lined us up and checked our calves again. He put me in third place. I was happy that he put me in 3rd because I was up against Holstein Friesians.
