4H Farm and Rabbitry

🐐 We got up early this morning and did a little goat showing! We entered the spring show put on by SW AR District Livestock Show last minute and ended up taking 6 goats with us. Two of those were the babies! This was Pearl and Lottie’s very first outing and show. A huge “Thank you” goes to Holland Dooly for handling and showing the babies perfectly in the ring and being so patient with them considering neither of the babies had any idea what was going on. Holland even left with a new title, Grand Champion Junior Goat Showman! Thank you Dooly’s for your help and for stepping out of your comfort zone and showing a few dairy goats! Another “Thank you” goes to the little girl and her mom that helped us get the 4th goat in for the grand drive! I didn’t get their names but we were so thankful for them for helping us!

Here’s the results from today:

Milk Dud - 1st in class 2
Tilly - 1st in class 1
Vicky - 1st in class 3
Pip - 2nd in class 3
Lottie - 1st in class 4
Pearl - 2nd in class 4

Milk Dud, Tilly, Vicky, and Lottie all went back in for the grand drive with the dam and daughter duo placing Grand (Tilly) and Reserve Champion (Milk Dud) Dairy Goats.
Only London did showmanship (Brylie has a raging sinus infection) and she ended up with Grand Champion Senior Goat Showman. It was a fantastic day!

***Side note: Pearl is spoiled rotten so in an effort to keep her somewhat quiet while her mom was in the show ring, I had to hold her. 🙄 Also, loading 6 goats up this morning was CHAOS! Unloading was super easy! We opened cage doors and the pasture gate and they all went where they were supposed to!

Merry Christmas from the boys!
