I love going to the Cattlemen's Classic in Kearney every year, and was pretty bummed when the forecast was calling for major snow this year! I enjoy spending time with aunt and uncle and girls who come up to show every year, and it was because of them I met Kory!! We met 9 years ago already at the Classic! So it always brings back fun memories for us!!

We consigned a pen of 5 heifers so I was pretty sure even the weather was going to stop us!! We headed down a day early (the night the snow started) to get the cattle settled in! We were packed for a couple days assuming we would be snowed in! Thankfully we had a wonderful host/hostess with the Slingsby! Kory kept commented how weird it felt to actually have a snow day! If he was at home he would of been scooping bunks, moving snow, and taking care of the calving cows! Brexton enjoyed all of the extra time with him though!! :)

The Classic continued with the cattle shows on Thursday but the sales were moved to Friday! We were out at the grounds just a few hours Thursday...there wasn't a lot of action! We headed back out Friday morning and spent all day there...Brexton did great! There was enough cows to look at; green farm equipment to sit in and four wheelers to sit on to keep him entertained!! We ended the day by selling our pen of heifers to a great family!! The classic was a fun mini vacation for our family! Here are a few pictures from Friday!!

eye doctor & checking cows

2/4/13

Today, Brexton had his first eye doctor appointment! Everything checked out great...praise the Lord! Brexton didn't have anything that concerned us...my eye doctor recommended bringing him in before his first birthday after he heard he was a premie and was on oxygen...so we did and got a great report! Brexton had to have his eyes dialated...he didn't care for the drops! He hated the eye glasses they gave him to wear even more so we got out his cool shades when we got home to go check the cows and calves with daddy!! Isn't he cute!! :)

first bull sale

2/21/13

{one would of thought I would of taken more pictures at the sale but didn't!!}

Today we to Slagle's Bull Sale just north of Sargent. It was the day of the big snow storm, so it was very nice outside! Brexton wished he could of been outside...instead we had to 'farm' with grandpa inside!! We played and walked around until the sale started then sat down...I have never seen Brexton sit so still for 20 minutes straight!! It was the cutest thing!! He couldn't decide if he should watch the bulls in the ring, the auctioneer, or ring man! I'm sure this is the first of MANY bull sales to come!!!
