Rural Show

On Saturday the 4th of November I did the Ngatea Rural Show with my calf. I had to wake up early again. My dad came to watch and I had to wake him up early as well. I was really nervous about leading because it was really bad weather.  

I got out to the farm and cleaned my calf and put tail wrap on her. Then we put her in the trailer and made our way to the show. They were so clean when we got them out of the trailer and luckily I did not have to clean her much.

I had to go and get registered and get my number. When I got back to my calf it was windy and raining so I just put her cover on her and sat down to have something to eat. I had some bacon and egg pie and some lollies.

Then, it was time to head over to the rings and get ready so I went over to my ring. There were about eight other friesians in my ring too. When it was my time to lead I lined up ready to go. After she finished the judge up people into their placings but I did not get anything because she pooped in the ring and the judge put me down for that so I was a little annoyed.

Next was rearing. When I walked into the ring the judge came up to me and he judged my calf. He said that she was brushed really nicely. Then he lined us up and put us into placings. He put me into 3rd place and I was pretty happy with what he gave me. It was hard competition.

Last was Diary Type and I walked into the ring. The lady judged me and said my calf was really nice. She put me into 2nd place which I was happy about. I had to wait around the champion ring just in case Sarah got champion. I was really annoyed because it started to rain and we were all soaked so much that we had to get changed after. I still had a really good day!
