A Good Dog on a Good Truck

 Having a good truck is important on the farm. Having a good dog is even better! 

A photo I took last Summer of our Border Collie Riot on the truck. We don’t let him ride back there but he enjoys sitting on the tailgate sometimes. 

Colter’s first week at the county fair

 

We are adjusting back to our normal schedule after a week of fun at the Otsego County Fair. The week begun with the open goat show, and Colter helped his momma show. 

Since the goat show was before the fair officially started, our week was pretty mellow. We slept in a little, took care of the goats, got breakfast at the maple place each day and just generally hung out and watched the livestock and horse shows. 

We also took the down time to do some planning for the coming year. If you grew up in 4H then your New Year starts right after county fair is over. Therefore we made goals of where we hope to be and what we’d like to achieve by next year this time. 

Colter enjoyed spending time in the goat barn, catching everyone’s eye and being in the center of attention. Safe to say he’s well on his way to being a show kid. It was great to see all the people who we really only see during fair week and catch up. Now onto another year, my biggest wonder is how on earth we’ll keep up with Colter next year when he’s on his feet!
