Waihi Show

On Saturday the 11th I did the Waihi Show with Ella, Sarah, Emma, Makalya and Jessica. I had to wake up early again and we went out to the farm. Me and Ella were the first people there so we quickly wash our calves and waited for everyone else to come.

When everyone got out at the farm they washed their calves and loaded them up in the trailer. When we got there, they were not that dirty but I still washed my calf because there were spots of poo on her legs. Then, it was time to go over to the ring and start or first event.

My first event was leading. She did a really good lead but I did not get anything because she pooped in the ring and they put me down for that so I was really annoyed. No one from the Pirie farm got a ribbon and I was annoyed because everyone fro the Pirie farm did a good lead.

Next was rearing. The worst event for me. When I went into the ring, there were so much friesians that I nearly died! There were about fifteen friesians in my ring that I thought I was not going to get a ribbon. After the judge judged my calf she kept coming back to my calf. In the end she put me in 1st and she said my calf was beautiful.

Then, I walked out and got my calf extra clean for the champion ring. I really wanted a champion from the Waihi Show because I had never gotten a champion from the Waihi Show before. In the champion ring, the judges kept coming back to my calf so I knew I was going to get a champion ribbon. The lady put me in Reserve Champion because the other judge liked a jersey better than my calf.

Last was Diary Type and there were about twenty-five friesians in my ring. It was so hard because I was up against Holstein Friesians and Shorthorns. I did not get anything because it was so hard and the Holsteins won. I was so happy of what I had gotten anyway because I really wanted a champion from Waihi and I got one!
