I believe the one you think is a Togg is actually a Sable. The only way to tell the apart sometimes is to look at their PAPERS.
There weren't any Toggs there that I saw. None showed anyway.

But Minelson, where are the Alpines? Surely you took pictures of Alpines for me, didn't you? ~gets a big-eyed, pleading look~
And I declare Jubilee to be the second most darling baby on the planet, right after my granddaughter! She is so.....
~THUNK!~

Brace yourself, Caliann, there were NO Alpines there. Sorry....

Minelson, I am actually looking into starting judges training...

OH MY. If goats are crack, this is like the ultimate Crack Convention.
I would have given so much to go. But maybe it's just as well I didn't. I can barely handle the awesomeness that are these pictures.
Min, why was poor Coach so grubby? He's a darling

Yes, I liked Coach a lot too - he just radiates personality, and dirt. Perhaps being grubby adds to his rakish charm.

Great pictures all of them. There are so many cute pictures of goats I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite but Jubilee is a living Doll for sure.
I know a breeder that was showing mini silky fainters there. Her 1st Grand champion Bling was the goat that the Expo used in their full page magazine ad this year. Her name is Jackie Pegg from Flying J Fainters. I know she was taking quite a few of her goats but haven't heard how she did yet. We actually got our wether Bently from her.

I asked the same thing...Something about needing a certain amount of goats??? He was just a stand in or something??? I don't recall him getting any ribbons  They had another buckling that was all shave up and looking gorgeous in the ring.

Awesome job on the pics Minelson! I'm glad ya had a great time! Jubilee is sooo cute!!!
I bet they were just filling classes with Coach so that the required number would be in there so they can count the class.
Thanks again for taking us all to the Expo!

I believe I was talking to her last evening. She said they had come with 9 to "finish" and they finished 5. (A finished champion in most registries has to be chosen Grand Champion in 3 different shows by 3 different judges.) So I think they did well...

I won't probably get a chance to talk to her until the weekend or 1st of next week so thanks for the update. I'll ask her if she remembers talking to a lady holding an adorable baby with tons of hair.

I am not a fan of fainters, but those Silkies are sooooooooo cute!!
Now I'm getting crazy thoughts about having a mini milking herd of long-haired critters.

We've made it home. (I came in to a mess, too, Minelson. Do they do this so we feel needed? I don't like it either way.) And here I sit at 2 a.m. because I can't go to sleep....
