JNHE

Why am I sitting in a barn with 1500(give or a take a few)? Why am I sitting in a barn where the only thing you hear is the hum of the fans? Why am I sitting in a barn in Nebraska? For our kids! It is that simple. Some families take vacations to Disney, Hawaii, the beach. Will we, probably not. Why? Our family has chose to take vacations to Junior National Hereford Expo, the last 3 years and would not have it any other way. What is JNHE? Family camp, but we bring the heifers. We are all up by 6am, we wash heifers, blow them, feed them. All done by 8am, as someone has an activity that starts. Wether it be one of our kids or one of our Illinois kids, they go. Why? It is their extended family. Yes,there are 10 of them, give or take a few, they go, they watch, they cheer and they give support. This is what we do instead of vacations, yes, we work,but we also have oned heck of a good time!
