My Fair Ladies!!

Last week was the Manitowoc County Fair, which for our family means there were craft projects to paint and lots of baked goods to eat.  It also was quite busy due to the fact that Kelsey showed three of Soaring Eagle's finest calves.  Ever since I was a kid, we would typically earn red and white ribbons with the occosional blue, but since this was a hobby for us and not a competition that made or broke us, we were always okay with that.

This year, much to our surprise, all three calves not only earned blue ribbons, but won their respective class.  The following are video clips of Kelsey walking each calf out of the show ring:

Kelsey and her March calf Konnor

Kelsey and her December calf Kaitlyn

Kelsey and her September calf Marli - note there was no competition in this class.

The real highlight of the day was having Kelsey and her cousins Brooke and Austin each walk one of these winning calves back into the ring for Junior Champion.  Such a proud day for our family!!
