Ottawa County Fair!!
Jacob and Lucas had a great year at the fair once again. They made new friends, and reconnected with old friends! Here is Jacob showing his hog.
Lucas showing his hog.
This was the first year they tried feeder calves. They learned a ton, and are ready for next year. The judge asked several questions.
Lucas was so proud of his calf. Look at that pose!

Waiting for their turn....
Jacob's calf was very ornery, we didn't get as many pictures. He had to yank him around the ring with someone pushing from behind.
At the auction, Zeeland Farm Services bought Jake's pigs again. Green Valley Ag bought Luke's pigs again, and Grandpa VZ bought both of the calves so that the boys can raise them into steers and bring them to the fair next year! Thanks everyone for coming out and supporting us!
Ready for the Fair!
Before and after shots of the boys' feeder calves.



Our latest project!
Lakeshore Fence needed about 800 boards cut for a customer who wanted a dog fence. So the boys were up for the challenge!
Jacob got the boards into position. Lucas cut the boards, and Josiah put the scraps in the big wooden box.

Daddy and grandpa also helped!
Thank you Lakeshore fence! What a great way for the boys to earn some money!
