Day 2 at the WAF: Cows, Dishes and Rain

Well day two at the World Angus Forum was the day we got to meet our girls. Looks can be deceiving under all the dirt and grime and when we finally got them washed the hair didn't seem too bad for the beginning of summer here! The other teams were razzing us about how long and slanted our stall was as theirs were high and short. There was lots of excitement around the barns today as there was a vet called due to a minor clipping incident.

Today in the team challenge we may not have held our own, putting in posts the old-fashioned way. We may not have won the challenge but we sure did our best and we will get the next round.

The weather has been kinda gloomy as it rained off and on all day.  The food has been plentiful and delicious. The only downside to supper was we had to do dishes... which was painful. Forty plates doesn't seem that many until they are piled up by the sink.  The upside to supper was that our team didn't get fined. We have been well entertained by the Aussies and the Kiwis making the trip very enjoyable and well worth it. We look forward to the days to come!
