π Montana Royal!!! We had several options for shows this weekend and Rose really wanted to go to the Montana Royal Junior Livestock Show as it would be her last time before aging out. She had super fond memories of the last time there and we LOVE Montana. It was an opportunity to get up into some beautiful country. We had so much fun in addition to the success in the show ring. We laughed and lived like family. There were no hotel rooms left a month ago when we decided to go so we had to get creative amd the best option was to rent an RV. Not perfect, but we quickly came to appreciate the fact that our beds were only 50 steps away when we had the chance to hit the hay. Other highlights
π³ Fairground showers--hadn't done that in awhile but we were in great company as there were many campers and devoted show families in tents, sleeping in their trucks and in campers greeting each other as we headed out in our jam jams in the morning.
π³ visited the Wild Horse Hot Springs and it soothed our achy bones in addition to leaving a LOT of questions about this business and the location was MORE than off the beaten path. Let's just leave it at that.
π³ ate all but 1 meal around the fitting area or camper--thank you to the Archer family for making sure we had something besides brownies to eat.
And boy did we LAUGH!!!!! We brought in a few too many animals including 2 high Maitenance does so we're moving and hustling the whole time. We quickly assigned duties and got to biz. The memories of this show will last a long time no doubt. Days like this do not happen often nor are they easy to get to. Rose had a very full show barn and we spent a good part of June prepping for The Show in Reno and then July prepping for this show. We never take 1 moment in the ring for granted and are incredibly grateful for the breeders that trust us and all the friends and family that support us along the way.

There is no question how much we love this little lamb who has hung numerous banners in CA, IL, OH & Indiana before taking a break and came back into the show ring ready to roll! I will not lie one bit that when he won his class I got choked up when the judge said "When this lil speckle faced dude trotted in the ring it was game over." This guy has won many hearts and although Tim might say he is a bit spoiled π€·ββοΈ he continues to shine.

To those stepping into the rings to help us with drives, Bailey, Keala Mason THANK YOU!!! Bailey & Mason congrats on your success in the ring also. Well done!! ππ
Again we couldn't do this without the support of breeders and friends supporting us along the way. Kevin I think you know how much we have grown to love you and feel so blessed that you have embraced the sheep & goat world. We promise to let you hit a few cattle shows. π€π€π€π€. Jocelyn, well I don't know what to say other than it's been a BLAST having you join our family and we feel so blessed to have you here. Thank you for well mixing an incredible amount of drench, helping feed, fetch coffee & the best dang shotgun rider when the road got long at 3 am. (Those photos we will keep for another day) π€£ π
And to Kylar, it was an absolute joy and honor to have you with us this weekend. Our family is incredibly thankful and blessed to have you in our lives. As the summer show season is over for us you may wonder what is next? Before the crew heads back to college shooting off in many directions we are taking the first real family vaca in years in August heading up to McCall to enjoy some white water rafting and time on the lake. Here's the deal - Bob & I have created a life that allows us to enjoy the things that matter most to us and surround ourselves with people that do the same. It's that simple. It doesn't come easy or without sacrifice but it sure is worth it. So if you want something go for it!! Find a way, dig deep and make it happen-- if it's worth dreaming about it's worth doing!
