#Fluffy cow

My calf scramble post got more interactions than I thought It would, but It just reminded me of him.

Now I am a fourth generational farmer, I've seen dozens of steers come and go. But Rugz, he was different. I fought tooth and nail for him, and took him from feral and afraid to the sweetest bundle of beef.

I sold him August 2023, and to this day I still think about it. I remember breaking down in the sale ring and crying Infront of dozens of people. I remember being handed the empty halter as he was trailered. I remember when I composed myself and walked back in, but broke down because the barn was empty.

I'm a strong guy, I pride myself in it. But there's still some grief knawing inside of me. I'm mad about it, I've always said and say it's the industry. It's what you do. I can't comprehend why I am upset over him still, I find it embarrassing to talk about. I personally raised another steer again this year and I was sad over him but nothing like this.

But there was something about Rugz, that stupid blonde calf. The only calf I had that ever made me consider backing away from my passions and dreams. If I would've kept him I would have been set back so many years, but if you ask me now. I would be fine waiting if it meant he was there.

I love farming, I am a hog farmer and cattle farmer and years from now I'll grow my operations. I'll have hundreds of livestock pass through my hands, and I'll still think of him.

The steer that built me.

A road block out on Antelope Island. There are signs all over the island to stay clear of the bison. Almost every time I’m there someone is getting a little too close for a picture. Better to follow the rules than be a statistic.

I gotta ask because I have no idea-

How do the shows work? I haven’t seen any ever, I think they used to host shows over here but I have a feeling that they’re nowadays kept online for disease control.

Yay questions, So shows differentiate everywhere and there's three major types of shows. County fair, Jackpots, and Nationals. Now I only show at County Fair. (But I'll tell you the others). Not going to discredit if you know this information, but to be able to show livestock in most shows you must be an active member in either FFA or 4H.

County fair shows are the shows that take place at well county fairs (In the US).

Jackpots are non county sanctioned and usually have cash prizes and intense competition

Nationals or NAILE as it's known takes place in Kentucky each each and it's like the peak of showing for most.

At my county fair shows are usually a simple ride. On one Saturday I haul all my animals in, then for a few days they just stay at the fairgrounds. Then a show day will take place during the week, I'll use cattle for example.

On a show day the show starts at 5pm, I go in hours before and wash my steer and prepare him. When 5 hits I basically just stand there and wait until my class is called. When called me and the others go and enter the ring.

In the ring you follow a pattern (I've done this my whole life and still don't have it memorized.) but it usually looks like. The best way to describe it is just stopping, setting your calf up, then moving into a different lineup. All so the judge can see every angle. Each class only takes around 5 minutes, and at the end the exhibitors are lined up from 1st - last. As they exit the judge will explain why they placed they way and ECT.

This is a photo of me from 2023 showing (I look gross)

Also- feel free to ask anything else about this, Im sick right now and delusional so I'm aware my explaining skills are subpar.

Trick or Treat!

A tangled jumble of fluffy fur for @tanglebrain ! This is a Highland Cow from Scotland and they are a cutie! This one was tricky because I did it at a friend's house and the paper she had was almost glossy- that's why the picture looks kinda faded. Reference photo under the cut
