I wanted to get a few pictures of Rachel and Kyle with their fair heifers to put on a poster to hang above where we tie the heifers up at the fairgrounds. By the time we actually got ready to take the pictures, the heifers and the kids were tired, hot, and hungry. SO this is what we ended up with.
This has been a good project for Kyle. When we first chose the heifers back in May, and started tying them up to get them used to the halter, Kyle's heifer was so wild! She would fight and stand and pull. The only way they could get her to move was to tie her to the Ranger. But, they didn't give up, and Kyle would remind Garrick several times a week to help him get the heifers out and lead them. Eventually, Kyle's heifer decided it wasn't so bad. Around the first of July, Kyle and Rachel could go out by themselves and put the halters on their heifers. Then they would lead them all around the farm. Rachel didn't appreciate Kyle's persistence and consistency. She was always hoping Kyle would forget to get the heifers out that day, but it didn't happen very often. Both Rachel and Kyle are doing very well with their heifers. I hope they do well at fair, because they have both worked hard this summer.

Holly, they are cute, we'll have to try to get down there to see them. We have been cutting wheat, so if we don't make it, wish them good luck!
