One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

Maurine texted they are going to be released at 9pm
She has to drive all night and go straight to the farmers market
I'm sure I won't sleep much either worrying about them
At least our vet and his son are going to leave at the same time so she will have someone she knows on the road with her
He was going to wait and leave at 3 am but he's worried about them too
I appreciate that a lot

The owners of this year's National Champion had a doeling on the Colorama Consignment Sale
Sold for a cool $14k and she isn't even the champs daughter.
Someone from CA was bidding on the phone

Not surprised on the kid- told someone earlier that the kid was going to be over 10k
She is the daughter of last years NCH

Safe travels to everyone coming home from nationals!

It’s crazy how much the Nigerians sell for compared to the other breeds. I sure hope she turns out nice!

The 2016 Colorama Sale kid, Wood Bridge Farm Spelling Bee, who sold for $16,100 was 1st place 2 yr old milker this year at Nationals.

By comparison the next highest selling animal was a daughter of this years Saanen Champion for 6300

Safe travels

My girls arrived home safely around 7:30 am

SO glad everyone is safe home. I was wondering if there were any discussion of having a cap on entries or an extra day for larger competitions or a set closing time? It is hard on the competitors, human and animal....

Oh and I was the victim of credit card fraud while I was gone

ABC News just ran a story that skimmers use is way up and people should be careful about using their card at stations while traveling over the holiday, summer season. They said using cash or paying with the card inside the station can avoid the crime.

I actually thinking it was at the McDonald's
We pulled in at 6 am because it was right beside Expo Center and vet check started at 7 am
It is a 24 hour McDonald's and it was right as the shift was changing
Just my feeling
I got a new card today
