The holidays are here!
The holidays are here! I hope that they find you and your family in the best of health and that you enjoy this special time with one and another. I also hope that you take a break from the craziness that this time of year always brings!
Growing up with California’s Happy Cows
My involvement with the dairy industry started much earlier than I can remember. I actually got my first calf, Miss Molly, when I was just under two years old. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of times spent running around the dairy. My favorite activity, hands down, was playing in the piles of cottonseed! I am sure that those of you who grew up on dairies know exactly what I am talking about. My cousins and I used to have the time of our lives racing to the top then either rolling down or jumping off of the soft commodity.
Keepin’ It Real
Today, I am flying halfway across the country to Indianapolis, Indiana! Our state champion dairy cattle judging team is competing at the National FFA Convention. We left Petaluma at the ridiculous hour of 3:30 this morning on the airporter to the San Francisco International Airport. It was a three hour flight to our stop in Houston, Texas. From here, it will be another three hours to our final destination, Indiana.
The past two weeks have been absolutely crazy!
The past two weeks have been absolutely crazy! I finally started college at California Polytechnic State University in beautiful San Luis Obispo! I have been having a great time so far, meeting lots of new people, exploring the town, and taking in the college experience.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
What is a dairy princess? Why do you wear a crown? Are you a real princess? Do you live in a castle? And, my personal favorite, do you have a prince?
