The kids handled the show just fine. The cattle provided the best experience the kids could have had. ! I loved their smiles at the auction! Super family job!

[@sdbigguy]

Great video… sometimes you learn more in life by not finishing first. Your kids followed through to the end and didn’t give up. A lot of things in life are now to the point that everyone gets a trophy for just showing up. I like the fact that both Emely and Houston are now looking at what they want to do next year. The family support comes through at all levels and thanks for sharing!

[@robincarrico2007]

Our kids enjoyed showing pigs in 4-H. such a fun project and they do very well in auction. I love 4-H and all the families we have met along the way.

[@johncalander2092]

Showing animals is always a learning experience.

[@starrmeadows7033]

It’s great that you encourage & support your kids with the things that THEY want to do.

[@joannepantale483]

As long as the kids did their best, they should be proud of what they've accomplished. I used to show horses in 4-H, at the county fair and open shows in my area. Let me tell you it was a LOT of work, but I loved it! The kids will find their niche. ❤

[@malyssahoward677]

The kids did great tell them keep there chin up. Everything is a learning experience. My girls showed for 4-H and it is hard work. Congrats to the two of then for doing a great job!

[@MANIFESTINGMYBESTLIFE]

Y'all how sweet did Mr. Houston look at the auction with his big ole belt buckle an all :) and his sister looking pretty as ever. I am so glad I get to watch the videos from this family and am so grateful and appreciative for all the hard work y'all put in. Hugs from way up here in Canada.

[@Cindy-ou4gd]

I showed my dogs at the 4-H fair, in obedience and showmanship. Had a great time.

[@gnarlyshields]

Showing up and trying your best is a greater experience than winning that blue ribbon. I grew up in 4-H but instead of cows I showed chickens! Haha I know it sounds weird but it was so much fun and MUCH easier to handle and transport. I never auctioned my chickens but I did with their eggs and made some GOOD money! I'm 23 now and glad my mom put me through 4-H.. it taught me so many life lessons like social skills, presentation skills and the reward of dedication. I had my fair share of tears.. I have a twin sister and we often showed in the same class. Anyway it is so cool to see your kids going through what I did maybe they will have a better time with different livestock or maybe even join one of the clubs they offer.

[@malyssahoward677]

Did people ever mix you and your sister up? Did the judges? My sister and I show horses. But I'm 16 and she's 14.

[@gnarlyshields]

@@malyssahoward677 people would always mix us up! but when showing we had different animals so the judge just kept in mind who had what color chicken XD I was always jealous of the horse girls, you guys always looked so cool!

I'm so proud of the kids . They did their best. My granddaughter showed goats from 4th grade to 12th grade , some years she did great other years not so much. But she learned alot . Now she has a little one so I'm pretty sure he will be showing a animal . It's a great growing experience.

[@williamperreira6107]

Competition is tough and takes a lot of dedication, not just from the kids. My Company supports 4H and we try to have conversations with the kids we buy from asking how their experience with their animal went. The stories they tell make you appreciate the process and you definitely see their growth. It's a great experience for all. Loved this video, love you guys.

[@barbshooter7635]

It was a good life lesson. Everything is a teaching moment and they handled it with grace. On to the next adventure.

[@cilandialane3084]

They learned good things. If things go where you don't learn anything negative, you will never have the thrill of when it does go better. Things went perfectly. Good lessons are always in didn't go as well as we hoped.

[@rodewerk5034]

I wouldn't call it a loss, I would say after mom's grooming, Houston was Grand Champion. Children, especially teenagers tend to be very fleeting in their interests what they enjoy today is boring tomorrow. With the love and support of their parents they keep active, explore and mature which you and DJ excel at, great job.

[@johannaraisch1489]

Thank you for sharing! Learning experiences in life are almost always tough! Kiddos did a good job! 💕

Good evening to Arms Family Homestead and all others that's here too. Great channel of sharing these videos about their life , family and animals a cold snowy day😊😊 Bear a good and smart dog that loves to protect them animals. Fantastic job Houston and Emily 😄😄😍 God Bless You all

[@alicewistrand210]

We had sleet like that last week on top of our ice and snow in Wisconsin. Be safe out there. Houston and Emmalee did their best and that’s all you can ask for. Very healthy for them to learn that you don’t always win in life.

[@mjgbabydragonlet]

It is really precious to see how all of your family is in their seat belts. I do not see that very often. Glad the decision was made to keep the animals safe!

[@johnfrancis7176]

I’m surprised that Emily and Houston aren’t involved with Safe Sport in 4H. My county has a full slate of target sports, BB, Pellet Rifle, Shotgun, and Archery. Animal showing is fun, and that is what everyone thinks of when they hear 4H, but 4H has a lot of programs that don’t depend on raising and showing livestock. Check with your county Extension Service and see what is available.

[@dawncooper8288]

I miss being in 4_H and showing my calf I like the sweater you show your animals great

[@RuthAnnnMorris]

The cows are both good looking girls and will be great breeding stock. Horsemanship is the hardest 4-H thing I’ve ever been a part of. Do the kids have a 4-H club leader? We did posters and studies on parasites and had to ride and practice and practice some more. That was in the 70’s and my question is about the clubs.

[@maryjanephillips6913]

The kids did a great job showing. Life is learning not just winning. Life is lessons. Keep working and learning. 4H is awesome!!! Don’t give up on cattle, work at it try again. Or goats!!! Love the goat show!!!

[@mamareed810]

The weather & particular the coldness & snow had an impact on the personalities of the heifers to show.

[@gailmattingly9604]

Always enjoy these videos of the kids getting their animal ready for the cattle show. Some of the best which include them getting the cattle ready to go to the show. Unfortunately other activities came in to play and I’m sure it’s hard to fit everything in that you want. But as you said , it takes a lot of work to show these heifers. And if you don’t take that time then it will show at the Cattle Show. And that’s a shame. Hopefully this is a learning tool for all of you all and have to make some decisions next year about showing or not showing. It’s dedication to what you really want at the end of a project. Houston and Emmalee will have to make that decision. Love watching you guys. Till the next video ! God bless !

[@davidray3558]

This was good experience in that the children learned that less effort equates to a less than desirable outcome. This is true in all competition, and shows that passion breeds success. I hope they can find passion for whatever they choose to do next.

[@judithdowell3164]

It’s disappointing but not a total loss. Life lessons were learned and one day the kiddos will look back and say, “I learned a lot on that event and Dad and Mom raised us well”. Blessings! on the Arms family.

One of the best things to come out of this experience is of course that success is built on dogged effort and overcoming failures, thru a passionate fervor and commitment to achieving a goal. That focus is hard to achieve when you are a kid with a busy school and family schedule. If they are blessed with it later, then this early lesson will help them be successful in life.

I remember those days and it was brutal for me, this like 60+yrs ago. I didn't have anyone to help me at home, everything was in taught in 4-H every Saturday afternoon! I had to walk my heifer from my house to dairy farm where the 4-H was held. A little different today from back "when"..LOL i refused to show that day after I found out my heifer would be auctioned off and wouldn't be coming home with me, I remember showing my butt and embarrassing myself but I loved my heifer and I wasnt going to let her go! I got to keep her for many years, she was my Lani Moo! Like you said, whatever Emily and Houston want to do, you will support them.

You'll get 'em next time. You are good people and good is bound to come times ten. I recall when competing with horses my trainer's inspirational words.

Be humble."

Kids can do anything!! They can! Just not all at the same time. To many activities, always led to cranky parents and kids in our house.

[@KJMJ1228]

Back when it showed in late 80s and early 90s. My steers was done by weight class. But heifers went by the month they was born. I had one that would finish 2 or lower. But one show she won championship. Don't give up keep your heads held high
