Grand Champion-Utah State Livestock Show

Morgan was Grand Champion again for the second straight year. Pictured below is Morgan and Kjia in the seventh class at the Utah Jr. Livestock Show in Spanish Fork, April 29-May 2. Kjia and Morgan are 2nd and 3rd in this picture lining up lightest to heaviest. This show has 57 steers total in the show. Morgan is trying to show Panda but he is truly being a big butt out there and Kjia is doing a good job showing Jess and watching the judge. Morgan is 1st in this class, and Kjia is 3rd. The steer on the left of this picture was second in the class, but ended up 3rd overall. We truly had a great time. We have some great friends that we show with and the kids get along well. We love to show and have fun together!!!!!

Morgan pulling into 1st place in her class. Panda was giving Morgan a hard time. He would also kick out so you had to be careful.

Shane went out and helped Morgan in the Grand Champion run because Panda was just being a terrible boy. He has been that way since day one, and we have worked with him. He is 100% better but is still a steer who doesn't lead the best, despite dragged behind a truck for 3 1/2 weeks and loves to kick. Morgan forewarned the judge so he didn't get kicked and that's why we didn't even get a picture. She thinks she has WON!!!! She DID!!!! GRAND CHAMPION two years in a row.

She did win!!! Panda was supposed to be Kjia's steer but he was just to mean for her. So in reality Kjia could of won, but Morgan won Champion again. This picture was taken the next day because Panda was such a butt and Morgan just wanted picture another day because it had been a long day and we had to show heifers right after the steer show.

Kjia and Jess. We truly loved our steers last year, but we were not sad to see these both go!!! Jess is also a kicker, and that's why his legs are not boned. Shane did not wanting an ER visit or be kicked again.
