Return from Denver

The Western National Trip is now over and I have to say that I am glad. I love my 4-Hers, but they wore me out down there! I probably will not take that particular age group back to the stock show; I would prefer an older group that is more interested in cattle and less interested in shopping. The stock show was truly awesome and I really want to go back at some point when I can look at the cattle longer and even watch the shows and sales more. To get some indication of how serious this show is; the average selling price for bred angus heifers while I was in the sale arena was $6,000.00/animal. That is pretty serious money changing hands!

The drive back was a bit exciting as Montana and Northern Wyoming got a fairly significant snow storm Saturday night and Sunday. The roads were completely clear until Buffalo, WY where they became snow covered and icy for the rest of our journey. We made it back safely and without incident so it all turned out fine. Pictures from the stock show can be found here.
