Joseph's # for the judging at the LiveStock Show
For his 1st year at the Victoria Live Stock Show, Joseph did great. The VLS had all the pens set-up for the chickens. We put our 3 chickens in the pen, set up the water & feed bowl, & crossed our fingers. We waited until 11:30 a.m. until they called for the "Broilers". The Bishops (Leah was showing her chickens, too!) rounded up 2 "helpers" for Joseph to show his chickens. Thank you to the Bishops for that! and all their help, and suggestions too. Joseph's helpers were Lauren and Dillon (they were each showing other animals at the VLS. Those kids had to hold those chickens for about 45 minutes while the judge went around checking out all the chickens. There were 18 entries and each kid had 3 chickens to show. The judge picked out about 9 kids and their chickens and Joseph was in that pick. Well, we thought that was good. But, that was the smaller chicken line. But that's okay because he still made it. HE WON 13th PLACE & THAT'S GREAT. HE MADE THE SALE. We will be able to sell his chickens on Monday at the auction. Yea!! Way to go Joseph!!
These pens are the chickens home for now at the Live Stock show
