Mom says "Miranda is reserve champ junior showman, Natalie first in her class, Jocie champion junior showman, champion overall showman and then master showman!!!😊😊😀😀"

When you have your own fresh salt block, but the one over the fence is definitely tastier. Oh little Fee!

Had a terrific experience with LA, our appraiser was dynamite! Very educational for all, thank you Mary Palka for hosting.
Overall I am very pleased with the scores, always nice to learn something to help me "see" my animals better.

Where was the Goat Show Teapot this weekend? Well we made a first time trip to the NEODGBA show in Wooster, Ohio. Nice location, friendly people, gorgeous animals! (Teapot brought a friend, Travel Mug)

Girls did pretty well. 4yo Tally received CH in one ring to definitely finish her title. Chamomile, a March doeling, was chosen as Reserve in one ring. Overall I was pleased with how the herd did.

Now A few weeks off to rest and spend time at home.

Where has the goat show tea pot been? This weekend was Western Reserve in Jefferson, OH. Reunited with our goat show family, it was a great weekend!

✨ Olentangy Handcrafted Thallium is now a finished GCH (pending, she also has a pending milk star) and was BOB in show #1.
✨ Redwood Hills Beau Cooper (buck) is now a finished champion. Cooper is such a lovely animal both in conformation and temperament.
✨ GCH Redwood Hills Perform Revealed 13*M was BOB in ring 2.
✨ 9Patch Livingston Corriander was Reserve in both rings.
✨ 9Patch Livingston Vienna was 1st yearling milker in both rings.
✨ 9Patch Hi-Visibility Chamomile was Jr CH in one ring and Jr RSV in the other. Very promising kid from our new buck Marran High Visibility.
✨ 9Patch Beau Cooper Victoria was Jr CH in ring one.
✨ 9Patch Beau Cooper V***n was Jr RSV in ring 2.

Who is going to the Western Reserve show May 18&19?

05/05/2024

Had a very successful showing at the Altamonte Super Buck Extravaganza yesterday.
Thank you to the group who organized this show, you did a great job!
✨ Redwood Hills Beau Cooper was CH in 3/4 rings and earned 2 legs. Cooper is such a nice buck, still very strong on his feet and legs as a 5yo with an excellent topline, depth and strength of bone. His son was Jr Ch 3/4 rings! Looking forward to showing his daughters this summer
✨ 9Patch Beau Cooper Renegade was Jr Ch 3/4 rings. This buckling is very solidly built and pretty much sets himself up. (Revealed x Cooper)
✨ Tempo Aquila Standing Harris was RSV in 1/4 rings. Harris is almost a yearling who right now is showing dairy strength, levelness of topline and width of rump.
✨ 9Patch Hi-Visibility Checkmate was RSV Jr Ch in 3/4 rings. This young buck is very long bodied with a good set of feet/legs. As with all you g ones, he has a lot of growing to do!
❤️ A huge thank you to everyone who helped me out yesterday! Andrea Hamilton-Larry and family, Kathy Kelley, Hannah Lovgren. Appreciate you handling!
