This blog is about my daughter Nicole and her journey through the next two years. She participated in the calf scramble at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and won. Now she has a heifer that she has to raise and train better than everyone else who will be at the next show, in order to win. She recently became president of her high school FFA and took on the monumental task of raising a steer in addition to the heifer. Her adventures are just beginning so come along for the ride.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

Life Lessons

Nicole is teaching Chloe to walk with her on a lead rope and making that task look easy. When Chloe is grown she will outweigh Nicole by nearly a ton and she will still be walking along beside her on this rope. In order for Chloe to walk flawlessly beside Nicole in the shows, there has to be an abundance of trust and confidence in both of them. In order for those things to develop, there has to be an abundance of patience and determination, also in both of them. These are lessons that they both will benefit from for their entire lives.
