Patience grasshopper...
Did you just obligate me to tell what happened?
Nah, it was going in here anyway.
My daughter participated in her second Calf Scramble at the Stock Show and Rodeo last night and caught one!!That means she gets money towards raising an animal next year for her AG class.
Imagine 24 high school kids lined up in the middle of the arena with thousands of people watching and 12 fairly large calves herded into the end. When they say go all the kids run towards the end, the calves scatter in every direction and the kids try to catch one, put a halter on it, and lead it across the finish line. My daughter missed the first pass at the calves but she managed to track down one of the last ones that evaded the initial onslaught of teenagers. She wrapped her arms around it's neck and held on for dear life while she found out why this one evaded the rest of the kids... this calf did NOT want to be caught. lol She finally managed to work the halter on and then came the task of dragging it to the finish. The calf bucked and struggled and my daughter got herself drug around a bit, the calf spun her around and knocked her down and managed to step on her leg but she didn't let go!
I'll have the "illegal" video (not supposed to have video cameras in the arena, but I'll be damed if I was gonna miss catching it on tape!) on youtube soon.
