Getting ready…
Daddy and Zayne…
Hold his hand…
His sheep….
Checking out the arena…
Getting to know his sheep…
Making sure his helmet’s on tight…
His turn…
There he goes…
Slipping off…
Whoa…
Giving Miss Rodeo “five”!
Just a bit of dirt and the best 3 seconds of his life!

Victoria and Madeline walking their 4-H fair lambs every evening…
Most of the time they have a little shadow…
Up and down the big hill, it helps exercise the lambs and builds their muscles…it helps exercise the girls too! ;0)
Then they practice setting them up…
And getting them to brace…
Hard to believe we have fair lambs already. I don’t even want to think forward to fair which means fall is just right around the corner but I’m sure it will be here sooner than I am ready for it…

Teigen had an awesome rodeo experience this past Thursday! He was chosen to see how long he could ride on a sheep!
Here he is before, checking out the sheep…
The sheep making their way up to the chutes…
Getting his helmet and vest on…
Him and his daddy laughing about something…
Teigen and his lucky sheep…
He’s off…well not really, just out of the chute…
13.6 seconds!
Giving the rodeo clown a high-five!
All smiles as he runs to dad!
He ended up placing 2nd that night out of 11 kids!
Showing off his new buckle and bandanna!!
Good riding buddy!

Our little Braaten bunch did pretty good at the fair yesterday….
Tori received Reserve Champion Showman in the Senior division and placed 4th out of about 35 lambs and received a purple top 10 ribbon in the market class!
Garrett also received Reserve Champion Showman in the Junior division and placed 5th in Market and received a purple ribbon.
Maddie placed 4th in the Junior division for Showmanship and her lamb placed 10th in Market getting her a purple ribbon!
Hayden received Grand Champion Showman in the Junior Novice division which had two huge classes of lambs! He did sooo well his first year showing. His lamb was one short for making the cut to final round in market.
Teigen even showed in the Peewee division where all the participants wins a ribbon!
Our fiber and breedstock projects did an excellent job as well! Dodge ram won overall Grand champion in the breedstock division and Blossom’s ewe lamb won Reserve Champion. Our lambs received the majority of the rest of the ribbons too! Edge ram won Overall Grand Champion over all other fiber animals and in his own division. Feebee won Grand Champion in the ewe division for fiber and we received the majority of the rest of the ribbons awarded!
Wonderful Day!!
