Grunthal's Over, Getting Ready for Rapid City

Hey there folks. How are you doing? Well we went to Grunthal on the weekend. My little brother Boe, Tanner, his dad, and I took our rig over there. It was a great trip, dumped some bales off the roof on the way but it wasn't really a big deal. Our trailer full of people made out alright for the weekend  so we were all pretty happy. I was 12 seconds on my first calf and won it the first day, 8 seconds on my bull dogging steer and won that too. Then the team roping came around and we were 7.7 seconds on our steer and we won that too. We were the only team to catch that day. The second day didn't go very good because I missed my calf and my steer. I placed 3 in the bull dogging. I hazed for Tanner on both days though and he won the bull dogging the second day so it was all in all a pretty good weekend. I have roped every day this week trying to get ready for Rapid City. Had some buds over yesterday to rope, and we had a gong show going on. I think everybody was so hurt by the 3rd time they roped we were all giving up. It was fun though. I hope this weekend goes good. We are suppose to be heading up their tonight and rodeo tomorrow and Sunday so we will see how that goes. Thanks for dropping by and we will chat at you later.

May Long

Hey there cowboys. How y'all doing? So it is me again and its a Thursday morning and we doing some blogging so I am going to tell you what I'm doing for the weekend. We are skipping school tomorrow so we can head on up to Grunthal for the long weekend. We got a rodeo Saturday and Sunday. I am pretty pumped except I haven't done any practicing for the last 2 weeks because we had a family accident. I hope it goes well. I am going to crawl off a bull dogging horse again for the first time since August last year. I had some knee issues and sold my horse so now I have to borrow him back from my buddy. Other than that we are going to try and rope some calves and Layne(team roping partner) and I are going to try and catch the leaders in the team roping. We are sitting second and we are going to have to have some good luck to make it to the top before the end of the season but hopefully we can get er done! Anyways thats good for now, we will probably be back next week and I'll let you know how things went. How is your life treating you?

Second Rodeo

Hey there, how is everyone? Well I ended up making money at Pierson in the team roping. I placed last hole and made 90 bucks or something, I was pretty pumped about that. Just this past weekend we were in Hamiota. We had a major snow storm for the weekend so for the saturday night performance there was a total of 14 contestants. It was a pretty small rodeo. We had to haul the calves back and forth for the rodeo because the stock contractor had none. I had a terrible run in the calf roping, I made way to many mistakes and didn't even get to throw my rope:(. In the team roping my great father, which is my partner, he is the header and forgot to catch the steer so I once again didn't get to throw my rope. The highschool rodeo was cancelled due to the storm which was not happy for me. Well we are going to keep practicing and get ready for the next one on May long. Hope your careers are going good!
