North Texas Affiliate Show

On March 13-15, 2009 the North Texas Longhorn Affiliate hosted their Annual Spring Show in Glen Rose, Texas. I was able to attend the show and dinner on Saturday. Hats off to the entire North Texas group for hosting and organizing such a wonderful event. The North Texas Show continues to be one of the largest TLBAA qualifying shows which made for some heated competition in the show ring.  After the show ring dust of the competition had settled everyone enjoyed fellowshipping with their fellow breeders.

One of the highlights of the weekend was the fundraising adult showmanship class. It has been a long time since I have laughed that hard at a Longhorn Show. There were exhibitors leading weenie dogs, baby calves and even wooden rocking Longhorns. It was a sight to behold. The TLBT members were the judges for the adult showmanship classes. It was rumored that some of the judges were paid off with money and candy but that’s just a rumor. The winners of the adult showmanship “competition” were crowned at Saturday night’s dinner. The Adult Showmanship Fundraiser brought in $460 for the TLBAA World Show.

Below are a few snapshots of some of the show champions.
