The 2012 show season has just about come to an end. The first show we went to was Old Home Week in Charlottetown PEI. It was the first year we attend OHW and we were very pleased with the hospitality we received. It was a blast! Then we headed to St. Mary's (Expo Kent). Dusty Breeze Zanzibar 1Z was Reserve Champion Angus Male! Burnside Tara 24Y was Reserve Champion Hereford Female! Dusty Breeze Farm was named Premier Exhibitor as well. Bob 465X won Champion Dorset ram, and then won Supreme Champion Ram!! From there we went to the Oxford Exhibition. The kids competed in 4-H events. All of their cattle and sheep made it to the provincial show. Nicole had Reserve Champion welding project and had the Grand Champion Suffolk Lamb. Allison won grand champion jr. cake decorating judge and jr. beef judge! She also had reserve champion cake decorating entry. Beverly won the Jr. Hostess competition and she had Champion craft competition. Then the Fall shows started. At the NB Beef Expo Burnside Tara 24Y was second in her class. At the Nova Scotia 4-H Show Beverly got first with Burnside Yaris 36Y. She also won Champion Jr. craft competition. Allison got 4th with her lamb. Nicole got 2nd with her welding project. The last show was the Maritime Fall Fair in Halifax. We entered a calf in the Cinderella Classic for the first time, and Beverly won Best Dressed!

We did well with the sheep and the cattle. JEM Classy Lady 8X got champion. The next week we were at the Cumberland County Exhibition for 4-H and the open show. The kids did well in 4-H, their projects made it to Pro Show. Nicole had the opportunity to judge the market lamb class. Allison won top junior and Nicole won top intermediate in the Jr. Show. The next show we went to was not until the end of September, this was the New Brunswick Beef Expo which was held in Sussex N.B. The next weekend was the Nova Scotia Provincial 4-H show. Allison won Jr. Sheep showman, Champion Dorset ewe lamb, and got first with her cake decorating. Nicole got 3rd with her heifer, sold her market steer, and made it into the Royal selection class.
