Stephanie and Katie showing their scramble calves.
Updates from Becky Thompson
I was able to meet Stephanie before we left, she is too cute. She placed 2nd in her class and qualified for the Showmanship Class. She is doing several more shows before Houston so I told them to give me the info of the one's they are going to so I can try to make some. Katie, the girl that caught the calf we donated, is showing her steer and heifer one more time before Houston in her county show in Hallettsville in January that we are going to. This has been a blast getting to meet and get to know these girls that have Dad's calves, he always rooted for the girls over the boys to catch. When Katie caught, the first thing my kid's both said was "Mom, Paw Paw is so excited, a GIRL caught his calf". I attached a picture of her and Snooki too.
