    I don't agree with that. There's never been a cooler in Hays County and I can show you a list of FW brands coming from here. Our county is hair-shown and I wouldn't have it any other way. Truth is on the county level, the advantage is to those who work their tail off, rather than just feed and rinse them off now and then.

      I agree with the early morning and watching the barn come alive its like bow season all over again and watching the woods come alive. note i grew up showing and had 2 girls that showed all the way through high school. Still raise some goats as a hobby usually give a couple weathers away to local kids that cant afford to buy them some of my proudest moment's have been watching that little free goat and win a class at the county show. We are in McLennan county fairly large show 350+ goats on average

          I hear ya. It’s tough.

            No cooler in Comal county. Working hair is a lot of work all summer, but it’s very rewarding.

                    Perfect stock show weather this week in Fort Worth

                    I was planning on making the trip to watch my niece and nephew but I think I'll be sitting this one out! Safe travels for everyone in FW this week

                              We drove through 4 hours of snow/ice last year to get to San Angelo for the market goat show. Looks like we will do it again this year heading down for the wether doe show, which check in a day earlier than the market animals. Hopefully it warms up for long enough on Thursday afternoon to melt some off, we leave out early Friday morning. The combination of ice, hills, skinny roads, trailer, and 2wd pickup is not one I especially like.

                                Love seeing the pics. My son showed through high school and was part of the Show Team at SHSU. I sure miss those days of going to the majors. Lots of scholarship money to be had. Y'all keep up the good work.
