Personal Narrative: Houston Calf Scramble

The day that I remember the most from my calf scramble project. Is the day that I found out that I was lucky enough to be selected for the Houston Calf Scramble. For the chance to win two thousand dollars. Little did I know how much they made you work for it. It wasn't till the day that I stepped foot in to the Calf Scramble office that I realized how hard I was going to have to work. The moment that I stepped in to that office I sall all of the past scramblers hard work and effort put into their Calf Scramble project. Then when the time came for me to go into the rodeo ring and then I realized that the ring was huge, and at that moment I felt like the most important person in the world, but then the moment for them to drop the hat came, and
So once I had her name I had to figure out what I was going to do with my other heifer Mady. The only thing I could think of is what if they don't get along. At first when we opened the trailer door Mady came running up like a bull in the rodeo ring, and as soon as they meet they started to buttheads. At that moment I feared that they were going to never get along, but then they started to walk around and from that point on they were best of friends. That was the day that I need to start getting ready for shows. The next day I was outside working on her feet, her hair, and how she worked with a stick. That day I realized that what doc told me was true, and that was that she has never had a person work hard as need to get her show
So I started to prep my show box and trailer. I cleaned the box and the trailer, I got all my brushes back together and refilled my sope. Then it came time to leave so we loade Mady and Suzzie and we left for the show. When we got there and we were unloading Suzzie when Mady got loose from my dad and I had to chaser her all through the barn, but other then that it went very well. The next day that I got to the barn we had to start cleaning Suzzie up for her first big show and I was worried, but when it came time for me to start working it all just became nothing. The way that we got her show ready was by blowing her out to get all of the dirt out of her hair, then giving her a bath to get her smelling pretty like a girl. Then I blow her hair out to get her hair dry, and to get her hair to point the right way. Then I started to brusher her to get her hair just right once I got it how I wanted. That's when they called my class, and when I got there they sent me in. So I went in they told me to set her up for a butt profile, then a side profile. Then the judge started to place. Sadly he did not thank that we were that good. He placed use in sixth. I would have licked to have done better but it is what it is. So we load up and went home we would have to do this many more time all the time we would place in a different place, but this year in the Wilson County Show I was able to win my shorthorn class with
