A very good show for us - and love the group classes. Really gives a chance to showcase how consistent our herd is - quality-wise. Sore but happy!

Congratulations CPK!

Your herd did very well.

I've always known you had quality goats, could tell by your posts over time. Course the reason I remember is because most posters are dairy, so I pay extra attention to the meat breeders; slightly different tactics needed.

You should be very proud, breeding for consistency takes a lot of time, energy, and a good understanding of expected outcomes of a breeding.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you! It is really nice when someone "gets it".

Very well done. I bet you are tired!

You're way beyond our level of expertise - of course, we'll never likely breed for more than our own uses - but for those of us who depend on someone like you when we need good starter stock or sires - thanks for all the time and attention toward maintaining the breed(s).
