Proud Moment


I have been lucky enough to be apart of a lot of great cattle.  Whether it's is one that we raised at Ricks, or someone that has had me help them fit, I've been able to work on quite a few good ones. So why a picture of this heifer? She's not that great game changer but she holds a special spot to me. Until recently I haven't owned any cows of my own. I finally got a little extra money and bought two show heifers for the 2009-2010 showing season. Well this is the first calf out of one of those heifers.  She was Champion Maine Female at the 2012 Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic. I've had a lot of joy from being a part of winners. But raising, working on, and showing one that was all mine out of the heifer I showed and owned. A pretty cool feeling I must say. And even better yet is that this heifer sold to a great family a couple hours from me. Their girl that shows her loves her to death and that brings me great joy. Hopefully I can continue to grow my cow herd and have continued success. Instead of Rick having all the fun and enjoyment :-)
