Summer Shows 2009

The Creater crew had a fun summer show season. In July, Bernie, Greg and the whole crew came over to the Farmer's Museum Junior Livestock Show to watch the girls and my nephew show, as well as enjoying a few days of camping in Cooperstown. It actually turned out to be the coldest show days we have every had. Heather, Bernie, Lucas, and Klara enjoyed all the animals that were showing (dairy cows, beef, dairy goats, sheep and pigs). There are 4-Hers from 9 counties (about 300 kids) and 700 animals with shows for each breed occurring simultaneously. It is a busy but fun three days. We held our own in showmanship and in our confirmation classes.
Then in August Aunt Irene, Justin, Julie and Mark came to the Herkimer Fair to see the kids show and enjoy the rides. Hilary, Shelby, and I would like to thank everyone for visiting and enjoying the show/fair with us. Hilary, Shelby and Dylan (my nephew) did well in showmanship – top third of the class. In the Holstein confirmation class Hilary was glad to beat her sister’s heifer in the youth and open show. Dylan took Grand Champion and Shelby to Reserve Grand Champion with their Ayrshires on both the Youth and Open Show. Shelby took Supreme Champion goat with her Nubian on the youth show day. She also got Master Goat showman. Dylan took Grand Champion and Overall Market Animal for the Open Show with his commercial beef cow. Well that was the major highlights but they had several other great accomplishments.

Here is an update on Colleen Motler's condition

She spent a few days last week in the hospital and came home on Thursday with the care of Hospice.

Colleen and the doctors have decided to stop all Chemo and improve her quality of life. Right now her tumors are incased around her heart but the heart itself is strong.

I will keep you updated as I get updates.
