BlAcK and WhItE DaYs

This past week was the Richmond Black and White Days. It is a huge event, where people bring their Dairy cows in from all over the west. They have cattle shows, judging, milking cow judging, and the heritage cattle sale- where a dairy cow is sold from anywhere between- $3,000 to $13,000 or more (this is the range we saw while we were there). While we were there a cow sold for $13,000- isn't that crazy!!! I would be afraid it would die on me on the way home. The girls and I went and looked at the cows everyday (Zak was gone most of the week, so this was our little get out everyday).
Yesterday was the parade, my brother, Nick and his wife, Hailey came to the parade with us. Then we had a little barbecue, then went to the Horse Pull. Haley's brother, Nick Barney had brought his Shires, to pull. It was fun to watch these big horses and see how much weight they could pull. The winner team pulled 8,000 lbs., and that team weighed a combine totally of 5,000lbs, those horses were huge!!! Nick's team took 7th place, which was great.

Here is a picture of the parade, and the girls' and Haley with the horses.
