Grand Champion & Reserve Grand Champion Broiler

Dustin has wanted to be in FFA for several years now and this year his dream came true.  Dustin is a Freshman @ Electra High School in Electra Texas.  He joined FFA and decided to show Chickens.  Dustin has always loved animals and even though he has a grandmother who has chickens, he didn't know anything about raising SHOW CHICKENS. 

Thanks to the Light's he was able to get all the knowledge he needed.

After many hours of caring for the birds and preparing for his first show, his hard work and determination paid off.

Dustin brough home both Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion for his pen of Broilers.

You know life just amazes me. I have been blessed and been able to witness the birth of two of my nieces. I have also been able to see puppies, kitty cats and even calf's be brought into this world. And no matter how many times I witness it, it brings me to my knee's and makes me realize just how amazing life is. On April 27, 2009 this little fellow came into the world and brought lots of joy to his owner and family and friends. Epecially me since it was my birthday and I had been telling them all along that's when he would grace our presents. And he did!Only 24 hours old Keeping Close to mom and never missing a step.

Agriboard Industries on Friday afternoon, Electra TX

Last week Wichita, Archer and Montague Counties just to name a few in the area had their fair share of Wild Fires. Lack of Rain in the area has cause very favorable conditions for Wild Fires. Around 2pm on Thursday, I noticed that it was beginning to look quite hazy outside and someone mentioned fire. These photos were taken on Friday after the major damage had been done. While taking the photos Agriboard was still burning and fireman and other work crews were working round the clock to control the fire.

Life on the Farm

Spring Break has been such a wonderful time here. We had family come in from Austin and Oklahoma and spent time with the horses and kids just hanging out. Took family on a wagon ride around the town, played out on the land, cooked out, girls sat in the hot tube, ate Burnt Toast...(LOL inside joke) and just enjoyed life....

..this is Dustin and Rudy after the wagon ride. Dustin is walking Rudy and letting her eat the new green grass for a treat for doing such a wonderful job today...

...this is Raegan also walking Rudy...


Newest member of the Family.... "Pistol Pete" (the spotted Donkey), the smaller of the two is "Cowboy"

"Cowboy" is watching the kids play with "Rudy" and "Whiskey" while being unharnessed from the wagon ride and wants attention. He is actually crawling up the fence and talking to us.
