Othello started rough. His Othello lamb had a difficult time gaining weight this summer, and slid into fair just over the minimum. It was built well, and I truly thought his lamb would get at least a call back in market against the other light lambs in his class. Not to be! Red Ribbon. Un real! My kids don't get Red ribbons!! Well, the judge was consistent and handed out a LOT of red ribbons in market. The Judge did well in my mind, like said, she was consistent and true. The Lamb administrator said he had to go dig out another box of red ribbons there were so many. Getting red was not as big of a blow, as a lot of good exhibitors earn there first reds this day. On to fitting and showing. He earned a call back, and showed well. In the final, his lamb was a little fidgety, but settled in nicely. My boy earned the FFA II (Junior/Senior) Fitting and Showing Reserve Grand Champion. So very proud of him. He worked his job all summer, had football starting in August, and still made time for his lamb project.

My kid didn’t participate in showing at the fair this year because volleyball has taken over her life, but she showed up for morning herds every day with her club and stayed to help a bunch of the littles in the barn this year. I think she was missing it.

:yeah: 💯 I did 4H and FFA, both great programs that created great memories and provided skills that I use to this day. I love seeing the younger generation keeping it going strong

Your daughter has good character and devotion to her club Jackelope! Good for her! Crazy how much the young ones pick up from the older ones. Good luck with volleyball.
We are heading to Oroville for football tonight. My boy would miss the awards ceremony at Othello fair today if he rode the bus to the game so we will take him and another player participating in fair up. Gonna be a long drive home!
