A Family Affair

Junior nationals is always filled with excitement surrounding the cattle and contests, but the underlining theme in every junior national since the creation of the event is Family! From packing all the way to breaking down the calves, everything at junior nationals happens with and because of family! Here are a few sweet moments we captured this week at Shorthorn/Maine/Chi junior nationals!
Buck-Family A father daughter pair at their best! Jirl and daughter Bailey Buck. We are sure there is never a dull moment around these two.
ChamberlainLooks like good conversation among the Chamberlain family. Dad Clark, daughters Maci and Becca with friend Taylor Pinkerton wait in the make-up ring on Maine-Anjou Showmanship day.
Loudon It takes a team … Tim and Karen Loudon encourage their son, Tyler, during the Maine-Anjou showmanship.
PeiperFather-daughter trio, Sara, Katie and Steve Peiper, working in the barns as a team.
WalkerThere is nothing wrong with a little family competition!! Siblings Whitney and Mason Walker go head-to-head in the Maine-Anjou Showmanship.
Thomson Bushy Park Farms general manager Cory Thomsen giving his son Kai a little pep talk before his first time showing at the National Junior Maine-Anjou Show.

Coming to a close!

Wow Junior Nationals is almost over for another year. Had a great day relaxing and spending time with friends. The banquet was tonight, great to see all the accomplishments from all the Jr. members they should be very proud as well as their parents.  Allison and I were honored to be on the winning cook-off teams with the best recipe and best skit. We also each placed 2nd placed in Graphic Design for our age group. And once again Indiana was outstanding state thanks to all the Indiana Jrs. That participated to make that happen. Tomorrow is show day and the last day of Jr. National till next year. Safe travels till we meet again. Good luck to all Jrs.
