Sometimes news slips by us and evades us all together! It was only last evening (October 7) that we received an e-mail from the eagle-eyed Carol Murphy in Sauble Beach, Ontario informing us of a significant accomplishment by a keen young Canadian Jersey supporter.
At the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin Tanner Jones, son of Shayne and Val Jones of Woodstock, Ontario excelled. Tanner was on the halter of his 2009 4-H calf Perennial Justice Natasha (bred by neighbour Bryan Weldrick) when she was acclaimed as the Junior Champion female of the 2009 US Central National Jersey Show, triumphing over a large showing of sweet heifers. That we knew...
What we did not know was that Tanner finished a very strong second in a dairy competition involving 74 young dairy people at Madison! In addition to finishing first in a showmanship contest in this massive field Tanner wrote an associated quiz on agricultural matters. To make things even better his brother Trent made the final cut for showmanship in a very large class of younger showmen!
Tanner was also featured in a video clip interview which appeared on the Dairy Agenda today website and Melissa Hart made very special mention of him in her blog on the same website.
Congratulations to the entire Jones family on these golden moments of success!!!
