NAILE 2024: we may have not won any big awards this past weekend but all our girls placed in the top 10. No last places and some stiff competition. I feel like we are doing well for our second year with the goats. We at least had two in the championship as second place. We made lots of new friends and got to catch up with some old ones.

All set up at NAILE and the girls are starting to settle down. Stop by and say hi if you are here.
