The County Fair is Over... Finally

Well, the fair is finally over and my 12 yr old son did great. He got 6 blue ribbons for his goats. He had one in open and they moved one of his others up into open as well, so I had to show him. I got a red (I don't usually show..I did the best I could) but he got the blue. He got a couple Reserve Grand Champions and the judge told him that his young buck (his first one he actually used his buck and doe and produced this little guy) was destined to be a Champion, oh he was so proud!

He also had some poultry entered as well and did excellent there. He figured he would get around $50 in premium money to put toward his new goat pen and when he picked up his $94 check he couldn't stand himself. He said he could finish his pen this week. He's so proud!

Congratulations! You and your son should be proud, and using his premium money for a goat pen-enough to make us all proud
