This is the second year that Colt has participated in the Trinity County livestock show with 4H. He chose to raise rabbits again this year. Last year he placed 5th and was so proud. We all learned lots from the experience last year. This year we were able to have a better set up for the rabbits and also make it easier for Colt to take care of them. He did an awesome job. He did everything, from weighting, to feeding, to moving the rabbits to differnt cages! We were so proud of how much he remembered and learned. Show day is always exciting! Colt never seems nervous, just ready to go! He did a great job getting the rabbits ready and to the judging pen. There were 22 competitors this year and slowly the judge kept eliminating them one by one. Finally, Colt was in the top 10! We were all hoping he would at least get 5th place again this year! The judge announced all the places up to 5th and Colt was still there! It came down to the last two competitors! The judge said that both were great sets of rabbits, but he had to make a choice. Colt placed SECOND!!! He was the Reserve Champion for the Fryer division! He was so excited and proud, and let me tell you Troye and I were over the moon proud! The top two places not only get a ribbon, but they also get a belt buckle and a banner! Colt did not know this and was shocked when he recieved the award! Hard work pays off!!
Camaron is still too young for 4H, but they have a petshow for the kids. This year Camaron decided to take our Pygmy goat, Buddy! Buddy has a funny personality and actually loves attention! Cam was so excited to get to participate and he even recieved a ribbon too!
