2011 "All American"
Fort Smith, Arkansas July 5-9, 2011

Brahman kids know how to have fun....

Enjoy the pictures!
Thank you Stacey Shanks, the American Brahman Review, and daughter, Sara Allen for sharing some of pictures

Marshall Blaine had rounded up the heifers
and will be on his way to Fort Smith.

Let's round up some great Brahman Kids and show them off.

The "All American" is not just about showing your cattle.
All the contests are fun and build young leaders.

When you check in you present you photography and poster entries for competition.
There were many entries.

Here is a small sample.

   One of the first contest during the week was Public Speaking. I sat in on the junior division and listened to all the speeches
.
   left: Savannah Allen right: Anna Pickering
   They give their first speeches at
an "All American".
Both did great for the 8 year old age group.

The Senior division is super charged and competitive. Those kids are professionals.

Wednesday is Showmanship Day

This group will compete against
each other for the next 10 years. Competition will became stiff in
the coming years as this group
grows and matures and knows
each other. They are already great show women and men.

They all, kids and calves,
have to be on your A Game.

I can not wait till these youngsters
are in the Senior Division.

Look Out!
