Mom drops me off by myself to wash until the others start showing up.
***My plan was to wash my girls in order:  Juicy, Carmelita, Prim, Stopnstare, Fara, but when Ms. Jennings got there, we divided up jobs as a team:  2 washers, 2 blowers, 3 clippers.  So I washed everybody's animals.  (It finally got above freezing after noon, and she sent me in the concession stand to warm up for quite awhile.)  I did good.  My mom was AMAZED at how clean I got Fara.  Every place that was supposed to be white was BROWN.  She didn't think it would wash out, but it did!

UPDATE

- not really, it started at 5:30.
Sweet success!
All five of my girls won their classes.
Then they got:
Holstein breed champion.
Jersey breed champion.
Jersey reserve breed champion.
Brown Swiss reserve breed champion.
Ayrshire reserve breed champion
My older Jersey, Carmelita, won GRAND CHAMPION which is the only dairy heifer they allow in the premium sale.
At the last minute, I also chose Carmelita to use for showmanship.  (I did NOT practice her up special.  I did that with the younger Jersey.)  WE WON!!!  It was really cool because it is the 1st Dairy Showmanship contest that the county has allowed us to have.  So now I can say that I won the very first one!

This was the BEST SHOW OF MY LIFE...SO FAR!!!
