Sheep Fest weekend definitely snuck up on us this year but we were still able to make the most out of a 2 day Sheep Fest!! Andi and
TJ both participated in Pee Wee Lead Line, Mutton Busting and the Sheep Show and gladly took their naps when the could!
Saturday was a very busy, long day starting at 8 am when we got up and headed to mom and dad's to load up the sheep. Lead Line was at 10am (We
don't have any pictures of it, we video taped it instead!) mutton busting at noon and then the show was started around 1:30. Usually 1:30 is stretching it as Andi still takes naps but she hung in there and waited until she showed closer to 4pm.
Many of you have seen pictures of Andi helping show but this time it was a little different she showed all by herself! Pretty cool and we were VERY proud and excited for her. Jaguar got a little ornery during the show and she needed a little help but for the most part she walked Dusty and Jaguar into the show ring, and showed during both classes by herself. She got 3rd with Jaguar and won the ewe lamb class with Dusty. She also won the Champion SD Ewe class and got to show a little later for Supreme Ewe.

TJ showed Jaguar but we opted for just 1 sheep in the photo.

You can tell she is getting tired- but she hung in there!

Good job Andi and TJ!!! We are so proud of you guys...such big kids!!!
I love the picture of Andi bracing Dusty. She did so good especially with how long the show took. The pictures of mutton bustin' don't do it justice, but they are still good!
