Whewwww!!!!! Today was wild, she got up early this mornin and she and Mr Lilly went to the shop to do the final assembly. Got all that done, quite so we could get her goat over there by 4 pm. Then came home, loaded the feeder, and got it over there by 5. I'm so glad this day is over, and I think she's super glad it is too. We got home, she fed her horses and went strait to bed.

Here's the finished Feeder.

The oposite end has a swing gate that opens all the way back for loadin a round bale in.

jersey, I have done a lot of welding on various things, and I compliment little lilly on her feeder. That is one fine looking job. :!: Looks like your fair is doing what it is supposed to do. Socializing and character building.

Good job, little lilly.

Ours startted last night with the parade-were a finalist in the national 'Hockeyville' contest so that was the parade theme. The 4H boys played shinny behind the float with our special cowpie pucks-Ty ripped one at his gym teacher lol. Great turnout the route was a mile or more and was packed the whole way. Then there were heavy horse pulls-first time ever here-full house there and a guy from here that horse logs in B.C. won it. The light weight team pulled almost double their weight-Ranch Horse competition tonight then two day of 4H followed by three nights of rodeo.

Yesterday was a really tough day. The lil girl that was penned with Lil Lilly lost her goat. We worked with him off and on all day yesterday, no vet anywhere around to look at him and see what was wrong. Finally at 5 pm, my regular vet showed up. His son was showing a goat also. I asked him to come look at him and tell me what was wrong. Urinary Calculi or somethin like that. Basically kinda like kidney stones in a person. He examined the goat, and said he thought the goats bladder had already ruptured. I felt so bad for this lil girl, it's her first year showin with our club, and her goat looked awsome.
Lil Lilly's goat....LOL.....well, she showed him awsome. But this lil goat gave us fits all along. He got two infections, when his horns fell off. And went thru two rounds of antibiotics to get him over it. He lost most of his weight durin that time, and she fed extra protein and fat feed to get weight back on him before show. I told her, just show him to the best of your ability. Which she did. And we are proud of her even tho she didnt place well. Sometimes things just happen. Here's a photo of her in the ring with what she now calls him Pedro aka Mr Puney. I'm so glad she has a sense of humor about things like this, and knows ya can't win em all, but it's the effort that counts.

I know it's not corn rows, just different than she usually wears it.

That child has enuff hair for 4 people. and it's naturally curly like that (kinda 1/2 inch ringlets from her head to the tip of her hair.) It is up in a pony tail, usually she's got it twisted up in a knot on top of her head kinda, the stuff is so darn thick that she WILL NOT hardly ever wear it down, because it's so hot.
I asked everyone in Mr Lilly's family where she got her hair, for years no one could tell me. No one on my side has any natural curl whatsoever, too much Indian in us. Mr Lilly's granny told me one time that she had a great aunt that hair like that. That means it skipped 4 generations to land on my kid!!!!! The great aunt was born in 1850s. Now is that wierd or what? LOL

Take no prisoners ACS lol. I always try and loosen the kids up before they hit the ring by giving them a hockey pep talk-they crack right up when I tell them to establish a forecheck and get some hits lol.
