This week is a very busy one as the Sonoma County Fair Junior Week started here in Santa Rosa, California. My 16 year old son, Charles, has three animals to exhibit. Today was the Breeding Beef Show for his heifer and cow. He started with his (just 5 month old) Simmental Heifer in the AOB (All other Breeds) division. She won her class and then showed in the championship drive. She showed against heifers and cows that were up to 2 years of age. She also won the Championship Drive which would be like our Best of Breed in the dog world. WOW, were we excited!!!! Following that he showed the mother of his heifer and heifer in the Cow/Calf class and won 2nd place. Tomorrow he shows his steer which weighed in at 1335 lbs. He is a black crossbred. There is 90 plus steers in this years competition. This is the final destination for the steer and he will be auctioned on Friday. I'm sure One Happy Mom.......:) Lois and Charles Gregor Schatten Shepherds Sonoma, Ca. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
