Fair...Part 2

Well, we are finally done with our crazy week of Fair. The kids both did such great jobs showing and taking care of the sheep. Ben won 3rd place in his showmanship class of 9 kids. The next class he did was a feeder class. This was for the sheep that did not make weight. It is judged on how the animal is put together. He got 2nd out of 5. The next day he showed in his market class. It is judged the same as the feeder class. He was 6th out of 10. Delaney also got to show this day. She was in the Pee wee lead class. There were over 20 kids walking sheep in the ring. Some were crying and quite a few sheep got away. She did great and she kept hold of her sheep. They all lined up and got ribbons! The kids will even get checks in the mail soon. On Saturday we had to get ready for the auction. It was crazy! When it was finally Ben's turn, he went in the auction ring with a big smile on his face and walked his lamb around the ring. Albertsons in Cody bought it for $5 a pound! He is pretty excited to be making almost $600!!! Even though we are all tired still and have a lot of things to catch up on at home, we had a great time. The kids are already talking about getting sheep again next year.
