Week #3 Ask The Expert

        Yes, I am the expert on cattle. Ask me anything from showing to caring for cattle and I will have an answer for you. "How many stomachs does a cow have?" Cattle have four stomachs the Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum and Abomasum. This would be the reason why cattle have "cud" because they have to regurgitate their food after going through every stomach. Next question... "How many calves do cattle have at one time?" They are able to have twins but sometimes they don’t survive. They are healthier having a single calf. Last question... "What is a good way to show cattle?" Well you enter the arena and set your heifer up. You keep their head high, front two hooves parallel and the back left leg slightly in front of the right. Then you have to do something called loining. It’s when you take the hook of your show stick and lightly scratch the top middle of their back. That makes them arch their back down so it’s flat.

Why would you do that for fun?

Week #4 Time Goes By So Slowly

        The lack of time in my opinion would change life totally. Time revolves around everybody's lives in everything that they do. When you go to school you have to be there by eight o’clock and if there wasn’t a time then how would people know when to get to school? Would they have to be there when the sun rises and are able to leave when the sun sets? That in my opinion would be a long school day. What about the homework that we do? We wouldn’t have hours to our class days so how would we know when our homework would have to be done?

Week #8 A Story In Six Words

          This family happens to be selling baby shoes that they had bought a month ago for a child that they were supposed to be adopting. They are tiny shoes with pink and white on them and they were super cute.
