Here there and Everywhere!

I had a wonderful time at Fern Hills with the McCamley family. The two girls Cheyenne and Montana are like night and day, both unique in their own way. They reminded me of my brother and I when we were growing up. Cheyenne is quiet and giving with a heart the size of Texas, always willing to help out and will pick you up when you are down, like my brother. Montana on the other hand is firey and persistent, standing up for what she believes in no matter what, like me. Also, they are two of the most well mannered and well behaved kids I have ever met, they offer to do the dishes and iron! Just goes to show that they have two great parents who have raised their children to be young adults. Janice McCamley is a lovely lady who would do anything for her girls and took me in like one of her own. I cannot thank her enough for that! Brett McCamley is pretty lucky to have such wonderful girls in his life! I learned alot from him while I was there, he is very passionate about his cattle and I thank him for sharing his knowledge of the industry with me.

This past weekend, I attended the Calliope camp draft with the McCamley family. I had a lot of fun watching and snapping photos of the participants. It was nice to catch up with the familar faces that I met at the last camp draft and meet new people as well. I would like to thank everyone that I have met along the way for being so welcoming and making me feel at home!

On Thursday I arrived at "Voewood" home of Dennis, Dennise, and Edward Quinn. The Quinn's run a registered Grey Brahman Stud as well as a commercial cattle herd on 14,500 acres about 45 minutes outside of Calliope. Edward explained to me that they strictly cull their cattle according to temperament and structure; this allows them to run a successful and profitable operation. Over the past few days, I have been able to tour the property and help with the sale bulls for Brahman week. I am looking forward to the rest of my time with the Quinn's and will be heading to Fenech Brahmans at the end of the week.

I hope all is well at home, see you all very soon!
