(Are) you feeling the early start? / No, I'm fine. __ aren't I, Pretzel? / I still don't know why you called her that. / I like pretzels. / Isn't it an odd name for a heifer? / It just seemed right. Step back, mom. I'm going to do her tail now. It might swish a bit. / Yeah, OK. / I don't want to get your dress wet. / Ooops. / Oh, that's all right, isn't it, Pretzel? / shame Lily couldn't come as well. / Freddie, I had enough of a job persuading the school to give you the day off / Well, showing animals, it's educational, isn't it? / I'm not sure your maths teacher would agree. / He's set me some work. I'll catch up at the weekend. / Make sure you do. ... Uh, look, are you OK here now? / Fine. / Is it all right then if I find a quiet corner to do some work myself? / Yeah, that's cool. / There's bound to be somewhere in the show ground. / That's a fine-looking heifer. / Ohh, thanks, Tony. / Morning, Freddie. / Hi. / Lovely breed clusters. / Oh, we think so.
