I just wish more parents would let the kids really learn to do all the planning,budgeting,selection , grooming etc that must be done outside the ring to be successful inside the ring. Banners fade, buckles tarnish , and even the best cattle pass away but the lessons learned, friendships established and memories made will last a lifetime. gotearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130316245489649839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258918193112216321.post-39688923185182511142013-09-24T15:41:23.071-07:002013-09-24T15:41:23.071-07:00Such a great post!

But as a producer, its just another lesson that we teach our kids. There are so many great things that kids just seem to automatically learn in participating in a livestock project. I am very glad that my four kids are doing just that. KHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364831316574528611noreply@blogger.com
