Personal Narrative-Get On The Trailer

“Walk down the aisle, Cry out all your tears. Let the sight confirm your biggest fears. Get on the trailer. Say goodbye. Don’t even try not to cry. Get off the trailer. Shut the door. You can’t cry anymore. Shake it off, but remember him because it’s gonna to happen again and again.” -Olivia McGurk-

Well about 4 years ago I started out showing cattle. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. But I was in for a big surprise that coming summer. I got my first steer. We got the calf halfway tame to where I could go up to it and put a halter on him. After a while I started to get attached to him. Because I would feed, walk, wash, and turn him outside every night. I started to have a bond with this animal like no other. He might make

By the time it was time for his first show we were ready to go. We had the trailer loaded. And I was super nervous. I couldn’t wait to get on the road, this is something I had never done. When we got there, I got out of the dually, and we went and found the spot that we were gonna stall. Now we back up the trailer to where we are going to stall.

So now after we get that done, we all head out to the truck, then we go find our hotel, get settled in. After we get that done, we all go find something to eat. After that we just got a ride around in this town for a while and now we go back to the hotel and go swimming, take showers, then fall asleep. The next morning is show day so I have to get up at like four just so I
