I don’t like to do bragging posts but I do have to mention how proud I am of this hard working doe ✨ROYAL PALMS 501 AMIRA ✨and her 3 doelings. Also, how well she’s been shown and managed by ICE Acres Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats. And remember all her accomplishments have been as a 2yr old FF! 😳

Big Congratulations!! To ICE Acres Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats for there wins this past weekend. It’s rare that a doe wins 3 Grand Championships and BIS’s in her first year of lactation. Royal Palms 501 Amira was one of my keepers, but when Isaac was looking for a show girl I knew she had the potential. But I couldn’t be more thrilled to watch from the sidelines this year on how well they have done with her and her two doelings Adonna and Aira that have already earned their Jr. CH legs.

Excited to watch her and her doelings mature under your care.

Happy New Year to all!! Hope everyone had some good family together time.

And while I totally get the reason for pulling kids at birth, and in my opinion most does do just fine with it. It does make my heart smile when I see family groups snuggling together. 🥰

Straight down is Zendaya with her daughter Xena, and to the right 3 generations with Contagion, Delta, and her little buckling.

Still funny to see the zebra in the herd. I wonder what her kids are going to think when she freshens 😆 they definitely will know which one is momma.

New kid on the block! I’m going to try and be better at baby announcements.

Nice little single buckling born last night!

Had a great show at the new Recycle ♻️ Show in Bushnell, FL.

I was very happy with how my girls did!
I of course didn’t get photos of any of the does at this show other than a few ring photos.

🥉Valleys-Edge Noir was top 5 both rings with a 3rd place 🥉 under judge Devon Miller in a very competitive class.

🏅Little Tots JaJa was in the same class and made the cut at 5th place under Devon Miller.

Erinwoods Copper Rose 🌹 did very well at her first show coming in 4th in a large class of 0-6month jrs. I see great things for her to come.

We brought two bucks
🥈Violet’s Acre John Snow looking good took a 2nd and 3rd 🥉 out of good sized 2-3yr class

🥇Little Tot Estates Stoick took 1st 🥇 place under judge Lorilei Hallock

Also a big Congratulations to Addison and Christina Pitts for they’re 🏅Junior Grand Champion win 🏆 with Effie! 🏆With a doeling they purchase from me.

Im really bad about getting these announcement posts out! But this one is a must! Had a wonderful time at the Spring Fling ADGA Show in Dover, FL! We only brought 3 senior does and 2 jrs and am beyond excited with how well they ALL performed.

🏆 Little Tots Estates JaJa won Grand Champion / BOB beating out 47 beautiful seniors Nigerian Does. Under Judge Patricia Ricotta. I am beyond thrilled with how this doe has matured at 3yrs old she needs one more leg to finish!

🏆 Royal Palms 501 Xena was 1st in a very competitive class of 12-18m junior Nigerians, and went on to receive Jr. Grand Champion under judge Yvonne Blosser, and then was 1st/Reserve Grand under judge Patricia Ricotta!!

Xena is the daughter of CH (pending) Wood Bridge Farm Zendaya, our senior doe who finished her permanent championship last year at 8yrs old.
Sire is Hidden Palms 501 Blue Sky.

🥇 Xena is our first Royal Palms bred doe to receive a Reserve CH and Grand CH. We are anxious to get a few more of our 2022 yearlings in the ring.

🥈 RZ Acres D’Bomb is just such a stunning doe and she is always at the top of her classes. She’s a doe that just has the wow factor! She’s such a pleasure in the ring. She received two 2nds and a 3rd in the 2yr old milkers, a large class.

🏅VE AG Awesome Blossom is also a doe that consistently places top 5. I just love the dairiness, angularity and feminine look of this doe. Plus an udder as well attached at age 7 as it was as a 2yr old.

🏅Fairland Farms Cause I’m Smoke’n is a baby in the one yr old juniors class and needs a bit more growing to do. But watch out for this one!! She’ll be a force in a few more months. She was getting some good practice in the ring with my son Isaac and Rhea Puentes did an excellent job getting her to 4th place!

Big congratulations!! To all the exhibitors! Some very tough competition there. And big thank you to Show committee for putting on an awesome show! Three rings must be a big challenge but makes it worth the drive! And love this location it seems very central for a lot of people. And as always, was great to catch up with friends and just talk goats! 😊

Great weekend at the Osceola county fair! Was really pleased at how the girls did. I have some very nice up and coming juniors that was pleased with how they did!

My girls are pretty newly fresh and there was so amazing udders! Still a little unevenness in my girls. Very proud of my girls general appearance, straightness of legs, front end assembly and leg angularity.

Isaac did a great job in the youth show getting second with

Had a great show at Florida State Fair! Was great to get some of these yearlings in the ring that I’m excited about. They definitely exceeded my expectations as most were just pulled out of the field with no practice.

1x GCH, 1xBIS RZ Acres D’Bomb did very well as a 2F and being less than a week fresh. She came in 2nd 🥈 out of 17 both days. This girl only gets better.

The rest were juniors first time out.

All is well here at Royal Palms in Naples, goats are happy to be out of the barn. We are lucky to still have power and just lots of tree debris. The girls are helping with the clean up! 😆

Thanks to all family and friends reaching out about Hurricane Ian. We’re doing well! We’ve prepared all week! And all animals safely tucked in barn and safe pens. So far we still have power, knock on wood it stays on.
