My f-i-l and DH in the Auction Block during
the sale last week.
Looking into the Sale Ring--we have stadium seating
to the right and left. We re-did that about 2 yrs ago and
put in air conditioning too which is awesome about July
when it's 100 degrees out and we have 2,000 cattle!
Looking down the hall toward the sale ring--
on the left is the cafe--right side (2 doors) are
small offices for the buyers to use.
These benches were all hand-made in TX
we have several of them in the lobby.
The view of the office as you walk in the front
door of the barn. We remodeled about 1 1/2 yrs
ago...we love our new space. Much bigger and we
can see out the front door!
Saturday we had our first show...went well. My nephew got first in his class and CB got 3rd in showmanship, all 3 boys got in the top 5 in the County Class, with ZB getting Reserve! It was fun and the boys did a great job.

Sunday, we did the birthday thing...after church we headed to the lake with a couple of extra boys in tow! The water was good and the boys tubed and swam and had a good time. Came home after a couple of hours and ate on that giant chocolate chip cookie, which was divine AND oh so easy. Not sure I won't be doing that ALL the time now...make one big cookie and cut it up. You're done in 1 baking session!!! Not sure why I haven't thought of it earlier!!!
Lake Dare Devils!
The 3 Amigos ready to start tubing!
The boys have gone to my folks to stay a few days...its been so quiet around here...last night I didn't even know what to do with myself! Today is sale day...need to get moving and head to the barn. We received a much needed rain last night...possibility of more today. I can't believe how dry it is around here.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Love the sale barn and congrats ! What a great thing! Savannah loves to go to the sale barn here and eat and watch the auction.
Happy Beleated birthday! That water looks refreshing!
Looks like a great sale barn. Ya'll have it looking very nice. Something to be proud of, and keep going!
I loved working on sale day - Muleshoe, TX was the last one I worked at. There aren't many around here - you have to drive 3 hours to get to one - kinda sad.
You had a busy weekend! The birthday boy looks like he had a great time.
So cool to see your barn, I love the benches,they are way cool. We have some ugly green and orange chairs in our barn. I love the counter area too. Looks very nice.
Neat sale barn! I remember when my dad used to go to the sales.
The tubing looks so fun!

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the sale barn...I've never been in there and it's neat to see all that you've done to it. Looks so nice!!
Ahhh...a day on the lake sounds pefect! Great pictures. Have a wonderful weekend :)
Hey There! Looks like a good time on the lake!
Love the Sale Barn pix! I personally can't understand a word JB says except "Up on spring shots"! hehe! And, I don't know how many head of cattle I've bought while swatting at a fly or waving to you! But fortunately, they know me! My kids love it - We'll need to spend more then 30 minutes there!
I love going to the sale and have learned the hard way to not tell a story to Ranchwife with my hands while sitting at the sale! I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life! Thanks for giving us a behind the scenes glimpse of your beautiful facility! I can tell it's a family business run with much love - what a wonderful legacy.
I'm envious of your tubing adventure! I spent many a summer in a tube - great memories!
Ha that is awesome!! I was there this past September/October for Diamond H Quater horses sale..So cool to see these pictures!! I loved the set up there, so easy to see from any angle!!
