Blackie

She did it!  Kaylee showed a 900 lb. heifer (and her mother didn't loose her mind in the process!)  To be honest, I was nervous up until the show started but as soon as she walked in the arena, I saw how calm she was and I got on task of video taping my girl!  Unfortunately, after 3+ hours of attempting to upload the video to blogger, it pooped out, so I only have pictures to share.

Look at those showmanship skills in action! 

Scratching the belly, eyes always on the judge.

Proud Papa with a very excited little girl!

Jesse of course had prepped her on several of the questions the judge might ask her like what breed she was showing and whether it was a boy or a girl.  As the judge made his way down the line, Jesse overheard him asking the kids what their cow's name was.  Jesse whispers to Kaylee that she'd better have a name for her cow, how 'bout Blackie?  (He's so original!)  So when the judge got to her, he asked her name, the cow's name, and the breed.  She sailed through it all like a pro!   Awesome job Kaylee!  You did GREAT!
