Sunday found us at our last on-farm practice and we appreciate Forsee Southdowns for the great classes and the work out opportunity.

This group works as hard as they play and keep us laughing (and shaking our heads)🙃. Morning stops at Casey’s, checkers and some keyboard music at Cracker Barrel are a must and always a good time.

Last day of practice and preparation before they hit the floor tomorrow morning!
