It's fair week!!!

My sisters lambs did well for not having club lamb genetics. She'll sell 45th out of 70 something. I'm too old to show so I just ran around helping. There's a special needs high school girl in the club. She joined since my dad suggested it to her mom. Ithasbeen somuch fun to help her and watch as she learned about her project. She was very nervous about showing and about cried after ( uncertain as to how she did). I told her that she did very well and controlled her lamb beautifully. I also told I've actually lost lambs in the ring ( I have) which made her laugh.

Went to the PRCA rodeo last night and will again tonight. I am amazed how many of the contestants were world champions . It was a great night.

Went to a Tough Enough to Wear Pink Luncheon this afternoon....My dad and I should get a reward. They auctioned off two teacup pigs for 200 each. My dad said he'll go as high as 200 but I couldn't bring myself to bid. One of the ladies (mil of my dads buisness partner) may send us the pig anyway if her father doesn't want it. They were real sweeties. Full grown and very well socialized.

Auction tomorrow lambs are floored at 77 cents. Most will go for well over $3.

Banty came in with two chicks last week. She is super agressive and attacks anything that even looks at them funny. I have one turkey chick so far in my incubator.
I am also pack for school again :/ . I am taking World history , Physics, Statistics, public speaking , and cinematography. I am also a scheduling genius. I have class Tuesady thru Friday. Done by noon Tuesday - Thursday and done by ten on Friday. I'll have a car so I'm either a) get a job at a vet place or b) volunteer at the ASPCA

Well I'm moved in. My room is pretty awesome!

I actually made the drive with two turkey chick and an incubator filled with hatching eggs.....I really didn't plan that out well did I? They're living with my grammie, whose down the road, until they are big enough to live outside. She call last night to tell me another one hatched.

Maybe pics later of them and the room.
