On this Thanksgiving, our family gives thanks for all the blessings of our family farm.  From the hands that toiled the land long before we were here to the on-going efforts today, we are thankful for each other, for the health of our herd, and for the memories that are created each
week.

Most of all, we're thankful for friends and others who we've come to know through our farm and activities.  We've made new, lasting friendships with people from around the country and here in our local community.

We wish each of you a healthy and happy Thanksgiving Day!

One hour before show time.

This is our third time here at the North American International Livestock Expo in Louisville, Kentucky and the excitement is building.

We've learned a great deal these first few years after participating in the mini-hereford shows at NAILE, Iowa State Fair, Ohio Beef Expo, and our local county fair.  And, this time we have Striker, our bull, with us.

We are feeling confident about placing well this year. The nerves are building, but the excitement is as well.

Its a family affair today, so we have plenty of support!

We'll be back with the results for Raina, Kathleen and Striker.
