Traveled Friday to New York for a clinic this past weekend, headed home today. We are enrolling our son Ky in college this afternoon. Kyra placed both days at the BBR finals at OKC fairgrounds on one of her horses. She won around $1500 for the weekend. I’ll check back soon! Kirk

Sitting in the airport in Indy. Headed home from doing a clinic in Terre Haute over the weekend. Gotta pic up some Super Lick tubs at the Purina Dealer before I head home. Had a terrible time getting here with weather delays, but it all worked out and had a really good clinic.

Thanks to Denise Garriott and to Sinnamon Show Supply for bringing the supply trailer. We have been doing this clinic 9 years, and I wanted to thank Mike Hamilton’s family, as they have attended 5 of them!

There was a big show dog event going on this weekend also (1400 entries)?…… A lot of grooming going on with both events!!!! Ha! HSC Mike Witte was there also. Thanks Mike!

We are finishing some fence on a pretty rough pasture this week. Glad to get that done. Ky is headed to Donors Unlimited sale this weekend, Kyra has BBR finals (barrel racing) @ the OKC fairgrounds. Also, I am headed to Ohio to do a clinic. Looks like we are going in all directions. Have a good week!!

Hi everyone, hope you had a great Easter!!!! Just got back from Orangeville, Ontario Canada which is 60 miles from Toronto. I did a demo on Friday for RK SHOW SUPPLY and judged the Youth Forum Show on Saturday. It was a good show with a lot of quality. You never get tired of looking at the good ones!!

I flew home on Easter and Kyra was running barrels at the OK State NBHA finals in Shawnee, which is 30 miles from the OKC airport. I went there and got to watch her run. She had four horses and ended up 6th in the average out of about 350 runs.

I judged and did some demos a week ago in Brandon, Manitoba and met a couple that had a tack booth. It was funny because I saw them again in Shawnnee yesterday. They decided to come to Oklahoma to get away, and it was funny that I ran into them. Small world, huh??

We are still selling calves for next year and calving also. We finally got a rain and we’re thankful for that because of all the wildfires that have been going lately!!

I’ll leave you with some trivia…our ag teacher, Jay Muret, sent us an article from the 1948 OYE, and the Grand Steer weighed 950 lbs and brought $2.66/lb or $2500. Think about that…that was a lot back then!! Have some fun and have a good week!!

Just finished the Oklahoma Youth Expo – what a great way for Ky to finish his show career!! He had the Grand Steer. We also sold the Reserve Grand Overall and Reserve Maine Steer. Ky won his class with his commercial heifer.

KYRA stood 2,5,6 respectfully in her lamb class and with her steer. Ambassador Bob May was there too.

I’m at the Manitoba Royal Winter Fair where I am doing demos and judging. I head home Saturday. Talk to you next week!

Went to Nevada, MO for a three day clinic. It was great! Weather was good also. We have done this clinic for 5 years now! We always eat well there too! Busy with OYE the next 7 days getting everyone ready. That’s a big show for us, somewhere around 15,000 entries all species. Havin’ fun !!! Talk to you next week!

Well had a busy week, had our district show. Kyra had Reserve Grand Lamb, Ky had Champion Commercial Heifer. We sold the Grand Steer.

Premium Sale Thurs. Got to 90 degrees that day. There were bad wildfires in our area. Hosted a NBHA barrel race at our arena over the weekend.

Had Co Fair last week, Ky had Grand Prospect and won Showmanship, Kyra had Grand and Reserve Overall Wether Lamb and won Showmanship.

Went to Newton, KS for a day clinic with Mike Weber and Tim Pessig. They did a great job and had a good crowd even though it was COLD! I froze my caboose up there ha! A lot of good prizes clippers and all kinds of stuff. Good job HSC gang! We still need a rain – trees are starting to chase the dogs around here! Ha!

Went to Kearney, NE for the Cattlemen’s Classic this week for a demo. It went great and had a good turnout – about 150 people. Thanks to Randy Lenz and Fran Minneart and HSC crew.

Ky and Casey went and assisted with the demo. That was fun. Was still winter there.

At the county fair this week with the kids, cattle and sheep. Taking cattle off wheat. We are really dry. Going to Kansas to work with Mike Weber at Chisholm Trail in Kansas this weekend. Hope to see everyone there. Thanks and have a good week!

I’m in Chicago headed home today. Finished a great clinic in Seneca, Ill. Fantastic group!!! Snowed while there. Thanks to Chris Utegg and crew. Saw another ambassador there – Mark and Amy Johnson. Thanks for the support from the HSC gang. We have our local show Tues. at Leedey, catch up on things the rest of the week with county fairs and calving also. Head to Kearney, Nebraska Friday and Saturday to help Randy Lenz and Fran Minneart at the Classic. Have a good week! PS KYRA had a good weekend running barrels at Duncan, OK Friday night and Shawnee, OK Sat and Sun.

In Chicago, headed home from a great clinic in Macomb, Ill. Still trying to catch up from being gone to Denver, Sioux Falls, and Ft. Worth. Got a full week! Gonna get to watch KYRA sing the national anthem at the ballgame Thursday. Head to Seneca , Illinois for a clinic Friday thru the weekend.
