We had a lot of fun in Salt Lake City, UT.  Trey went on the junior tour to the American Ninja Warrior gym and had fun trying out the obstacle course. He also participated in the junior prepared public speaking contest. Hayley was recognized as a National Distinguished Junior Member Semifinalist. She also competed in the intermediate dairy jeopardy contest and designed the winning state digital scrapbook. On the way home, we drove to sightsee through the Black Hills in South Dakota to see sights like Devils Tower, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park and the Badlands National Park.

2024 Show Like A Pro Workshop

Trey learned a lot this year at Show Like A Pro with Hayley's fall calf Salute. He had fun bonding with other kids from Virginia and meeting dairy kids from other states in the area. This was his first year competing in the fit out and learned a lot from the experience.
