This was our first year at the Coconino County Fair. The most memorable weekend for us in a long time. Taya's steer weighing in at 1365 pounds was named "Oro" he was to win the "Gold" in Spanish!! Her pig named "Lollipop" weighed in at 241 pounds. She impressed a lot of people with her bravery and courage to show this monster. He was so good to her though. She placed third in her weight class and would have won the showmanship had her steer not mounted the steer in front of her several times. The judge even said over the microphone that the other kids better look out for this girl in a year or two because she can show an animal. The crowd went wild and we got the chills. It was the loudest cheer all weekend from the audience.
A little different story with the pig who decided to have an allergic reaction to the fair. I guess we are glad his name wasn't Wilbur. He was allergic to the saw dust and had to be quarantined. Oh in case you are wondering the reaction was a million huge pimples all over her body that ... well let's just leave it at that. She still got to show her and got 11th place out of 11 Durocs. But she still managed to get Reserve Champion in Showmanship and had the pig whisperer told her she needed to switch hands with the show stick she would have won Grand!! She was the last to sale in the whole auction.
This was a tough day. The day Oro had to leave us and journey on to his next mission in life. Taya had a hard time letting go but she has recovered and ready for next year.
Sydnee is Taya's moral support and best bud!!

Kodi! Welcome to blogging! I"m so excited you have one. Loved the fair pictures, Taya looks so cute showing that steer, and Kai, she doesn't look like a baby anymore!! I was thinking she was Syd for a minute. Maybe we should get together sometime????? That way we will know what each others kids look like!
