The Blonde Girl

Although I do not have a photo of her yet, my new favorite girl is blonde. She has lots of great hair, snot comes out of her nose sometimes, and she is a vegetarian. The color of her hair does not really match her friends and she stands out in a crowd. I can visit her whenever I want, but she does not know whether to like me yet or not. Her hair is lighter than most, but not altogether blonde. However, she has never died it before. She is a heifer in my fitting and showing class at Cal Poly SLO and she will be my best friend for the next month or so.
I really enjoyed Spring break this last week! I got to enjoy three new baby calves that were born, work with my piggies for the Alameda County Fair, and take in the country scene. Even though I may visit the livestock units on campus when I am homesick for my ranch, it still does not even come close to what the smell of my home is! It's fresh country air and green grass for miles. It's a herd of cattle on the hillside and a hawk overhead. You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl.
This blonde friend of mine I mentioned earlier is going to be quite a blast for me! Since I miss my life on a ranch I signed up for this class, because it involves cattle. I had the first class yesterday and come to find out we can work with the cattle whenever we want! I actually went out there this morning to work with the heifer that I will hopefully pick tomorrow! I will halter break her and then learn how to fit her to show her in the Cal Poly State FFA Judging Finals in May. I am super excited about this, and I can't wait to think of a name for my blonde friend. Barbie is not her style!
