SuMmEr DaYs

Getting ready for the fair was a big time occupier this past summer. Jeslyn was ready and willing…up for the challenge. This would be her first Market Beef Project. She picked out her steer – Ceasar last fall and had been working with him off and on. Once school was out for the summer she worked with him almost daily and really had a personal bond with him. It was fun to watch her rinse him and brush him, talking to him the entire time. She never rushed; she was very thorough and made sure she he looked his very best before she was done. I think he really liked her too…she did feed him grain twice a day! Most days he was waiting for her right in the very spot she would rinse him.

I didn’t capture as many photos as I should have, but I did get a few.















We didn’t have very many LaZy SuMmEr DaYs, but every once in awhile we took full advantage of the shade and enjoyed a little down time.
