Mindy wanted a fun photo with the carcasses.
Andrew really wanted to make a point.
After the contest, the team was all smiles.

Headed to Manhattan
The 4 hour drive from Stillwater to Manhattan took us 5+. We were amazed at how different it was from North Florida.
We found a 4-H Camp on our travels north called Rock Springs 4-H Camp. We stopped for a quick visit.
We thought the trees at the 4-H Camp were beautiful!!! We also played football in the parking lot to release some energy.

Practice in Stillwater
We gave the OSU football stadium a good Gator Chomp!
Monday morning we practiced at the OSU meat lab. They had a variety of ID cuts and placings classes.
Some of the cuts were a little larger than we have seen in Florida!
We found a real cowboy to take a picture with!

After a recommedation from Mrs. Cathy Carr from UF, we ate at Jack Stack BBQ for lunch.
Our judgers were ready for some good bbq. Congrats to Andrew for trying the lamb ribs. And yes, Mr. Brian made them judge their lunch!
As you can see, the group, including Mrs. Cindy and Mindy, had a great lunch.
After lunch, we headed south to Stillwater where will practice at their meat lab on Monday morning. The landscape was a big change from Florida. We were able to see this sunset on our drive. By the way, it was way colder in Live Oak than it has been here in Kansas/Oklahoma! 
We made it to Oklahoma! We ended up in Stillwater on Sunday night after a long day of traveling.
