Nat'l Goat Expo, 2014

Had lots of fun at the 2014 National Goat Expo in Bloomington, Illinois. My lovely doeling, GoGo's Lil Gidget took Reserve Grand Champion in the Junior Doe class. I wish I could claim her breeding, but the credit for that belongs to Regina Tervo, of By The Sea Farm in NC. I am merely the proud owner!

Other does of my breeding won Second Place and Third Place in their respective shows. I also entered three does in the Get Of Sire class. That group took a Second Place in the first show, and a First Place in the second show. This was my very first time showing *anything* (at 61 yrs old!) and I didn't trip, stumble or make a fool of myself in the ring! It was a ton of fun, and I learned so much!

Very nice. You look good, Nehi mamma. I believe you were having some serious health issues a couple years back, too - if my mind recalls correctly. Anyway, congrats. Glad you had a good time. (nice sign by the way!)

Showing can be so much fun! Glad you had such a good time.

BTW, one of our home-bred bucks, Whey-to-Go Titan, was shown in the AOP ring (he is an American Saanen) and was 1X GCH and Best in Breed and 3X RGCH. That was cool...we weren't even there, but well-represented!
