Its been awhile since my first post so I figured it was time to catch everyone up on what has been going on these past couple of weeks. It only takes two words to describe why I haven't had the time to update this blog: Stock Show.
For those of you who don't know the National Western Stock Show takes place here in Denver and runs for most of the month of January. I have been attending the NWSS on and off for the past 10 years and this year not only did I have show cattle on the hill, but I also had the honor of working for the photography company Show Champions doing marketing/sales and assisting photographers throughout the different shows.
This years stock show is one that is going down in the history books for me. In the open Shorthorn show I showed the Reserve National Champion Bull. Not only was this our first national champion that we have shown, what made it more exciting was that the bull, "LBB Sonny California 07 ET," was raised by us! I can't even begin to describe how excited we all were after getting the champion slap and hand shake from the judge. Afterwards we celebrated with steaks and good wine at the Denver Chophouse with our good friends the Williams and Neumayrs.
Now that stock is over it has left with a little reminder of the hard work of the past tw
o weeks...the dreaded crud.
Life is slowly getting back to normal and I will ma
ke sure and keep you all up to date with the happenings that are taking place.

In the final drive
Yay Sonny California! Just the other day Luke and I were out at a nice place in Houston for dinner, and we said that we wished the Bennetts were with us.
