Congrats! I hope Briar learned her lesson on not struggling in the show ring... I know it is scary when they choke themselves out.... May does it all the time UGH.

Been there done that...I was always worried that somebody would be there with a camera.

Congratulations on the placings!
I saw the pic of Damsel and knew she would do well. She looks great. I'm so happy she has recovered and is in the ring!
Our lamanchas are all great when it comes to being led by their collar ('cept Raina). The ND's have always been harder, they can be little brats lol. Back in October when we were showing, I purposely handled the the nigies that behaved worst. Good thing too, they were holy terrors. They were placed very well in huge classes. I'm not sure what the judge was able to see when the goat never had her feet on the ground! The one did a complete flip

There was another exhibitor there that swooped in and took the other goats from me. We were in the alley heading back to the stall when Briar choked out.
I'm so proud of Damsel. Both judges raved about her. People that remember her accident were amazed at how well she looked. I wish I had pictures of her in the ring. This is the only one we received from a friend of ours.
This was right after the lineup. We were heading back to grab Morgan and Skylar. Please ignore my exhausted look. It was a long weekend. I'm proud of our girls. We may not have received ribbons (they only gave rosettes and banners) but I received my first blue and we're beyond excited.
One of our top LM breeders in the area loves her. I'm ecstatic. She's getting better with age and I can't wait to see her freshened next year.
Briar and Lyra are being bred next heat. I was going to wait but they're both big enough I'm comfortable breeding them as yearnings. Briar is going to boot camp starting next week. She needs serious manners. Lyra is a dream to show. She'll stand all day and chew cud no problem. She walks tall and proud but was beat by exceptional does a little older than her.

I would also like to gloat on the girls and say they paid their entry fees with their winnings. Good girls.
