Matt was here January 17th to the 21st. He was unfortunately extremely sick and was not able to do as much as he would have liked. We/he however, made it to the NWSS, Greeley Hat Works and to the mountains. That Friday I helped out at the Collegiate Judging Contest at Stock Show. I was up around 4 and headed down with the lambs for the contest. Matt met me down there and we walked around for a little bit.
Classes began: Ag Marketing, Ag Law, Human and Animal Disease, Animal Breeding, Animal Nutrition, Genetics and I have now also added Travel Abroad in Animal Agriculture. That is a total of 20 credit hours! Ahhh
I showed down at Stock Show with the Sheep Unit from ARDEC. We came home with Champion Southdown Ram, Ewe, Family Flock, Supreme Champion Meat Breeds Ram and Supreme Champion Southdown Breeder.
The whole gang and Brutis!
Our little booth.
The whole gang and a swarm of awards!

The four ewe lambsMeetings began: executive ag ambassadors, ag ambassadors, LNW, BnB....
Last weekend we had a executive ag ambassador "gathering". We spent 10-3 working on goals, Ram Camp, etc.
I have actually been good about going to church. I figured since I lacked during Advent that maybe during Lent I should pick it up. So I went last Sunday, Ash Wednesday and I skipped today as I have been reading literally all day long.
Coming up: two exams this week, a paper due, next week two exams, one quiz.....
I have also decided to go to Australia...yes I said Australia! I will be traveling over there with one of my advisor's/professors and a group of 20 students. We will be gone for two weeks traveling the country and being tourists! Two of my best friends will be going with me and I cant say how excited I am and so forth. I will update once I find out more details.
