IN LOVING MEMORY OF GLACIER We lost Glacier on Feb.22 a week after she kidded. We still do not know what happened for sure. Her kids are doing fine. We sure do miss her. She was my first AI baby. She and her sister, Aspen, both finished their permanent championships. Thankfully I have daughters to carry on her line.
SHOW UPDATES FOR 2008 Gypsy was grand champion her first 2 shows out this year. She was a pending champion, or so we thought. Due to problems with the paperwork she did not get her leg. Please be vigilant in checking over the paperwork at a show. It appears that now, not only are we held responsible for our goats information being correct, but the rest of the form also. In my goats instance, it was apparent what the mistake was and that she should get a leg. But, the committee, wanting to make an example out of the judge, show secretary and exhibitors, did not allow any legs.
Pru was reserve grand behind her both times.
Deb was grand champion in Wilson County recently, while having been judged best udder of breed. She was again named grand champion at the Mid-South Fair and BOB. She was grand there last year. I got the letter from ADGA and Deb is a permanent champion now!
CH Safron has been Best of Breed twice so far this year.
My kids have done well also.
SHOW INFO FROM 2007
Show season went very well this season. We had grand at every show we attended and often grand and reserve. Fiona was GCH 3 out of 3 shows. She finished her championship. She is really looking good this year after being uneven last year. At the Mid-South Fair she won BOB over Deb, her half sister, who was grand champion. Safron, Fiona's daughter, also finished her championship this summer. She just got better as the summer went along. She was first in her class at every show and reserve to her mother more than once. Pru was first or second at every show a a yearling milker. At one show she was third. She is doing and growing well. Maxey was almost always first in her class, except one. She is really looking good. She improved as the summer went along in milk production. Deb, who is a little to fat, still showed very well. She placed 2nd behind Maxey at most shows except for the last one. At the Mid-South Fair she was named grand champion.
TWO DOES GET MILK STARS
Our goat club sponsored a one-day milk test in 2007. Unfortunately it was only a week after we held at judges training conference in Lebanon, TN. So no ones goats were milking well. They had been shown for two days pretty solid. It was hot. Lots of members did not do the milk test because of this. But, still 2 of mine and 3 of a friend's does got their stars. I had 3 just miss it, Madelain, Fiona, Safron. But, Edina and Arwin got theirs. They are now GCH does. I am so proud of them!
IN LOVING MEMORY Last year was tough on our older animals. We lost Kirby the cat at age 17 last winter. Then we lost Jack, the very old beagle in July. In August Domino, age 15 1/2, who had slowed way down and could not hear well was run over. Dec. 28, 2006 Anna, our beloved Pyrenees passed away. She was going on 15 years old and was a wonderful dog. She took very good care of all her charges and will be sorely missed. This year we had to put down our oldest doe, Cascade, due to a bad kidding of quads that damaged nerves that would not heal. I miss the old girl who actually did not look or act her age.
SHOW WINS 2006
We have had a great show season so far. Many grand, reserve grands in seniors and juniors at all the shows. Our milking yearling, Arwin, has finished her championship. She was 2nd place, 2nd udder at this year's NAILE in Louisville.She is a Foxwood Phantom's Jedi Knight daughter. Edina was grand in 2 rings at the 2006 Music City Goat Festival and reserve on Sunday. Darling was grand, BOB, and BDIS on Sunday of the same show. This finished Edina. Magda was reserve to Edina in the 2 rings on Saturday. Samantha (Magda/Magic Man) was reserve in 1 ring in junior does behind a lovely yearling of Paul Fox. She was 4 weeks old. On Sunday Gypsy was grand junior doe with Deb reserve behind her. A great weekend.
2005 MID-SOUTH FAIR
We are very excited about showing at the Mid-South Fair this year. 8-year-old Madelain was named GCH, BOB and BDIS! And to top that off Fiona was RGCH right behind her. The in the junior doe show Jocasta was named GCH. I could have fell over. All the girls did well and we almost swept the group classes. Beside Madelain and Fiona in the senior does, Edina and Magda were 4th and 5th, Darling was 4th, (Edina and Darling have larger teats that he did not like and Magda was uneven) But, 8-year-old Cloud was shown dry and was 3rd behind Madelain and there were several in the class. CH Glacier was second to Madelain in champion challenge. There were four challengers. The junior does did well also. Gypsy, an April kid was second (the only time she has not been first); the February kids placed 1st, 3rd and 6th. They were Arwin, Deb and Maxey.
