FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

I saw her in the ring showing June lol. Yay!! Can't wait for an update from her as I think I caught what they placed but not sure.

June got 6th. Almost 5th but he switched them last minute. Her rear udder didn't fill, she isn't eating well. This is an udder judge, he also does linear appraisals. He's tough, but so is the competition.

We're scratching Lyra. She just got bumped and is hurting. Not worth it to me.

Quick break then we're up with Damsel, Katy, Lady, and Briar.

Damsel 2nd in class. 3rd overall.

I missed it!!!!

Couldn't get her to set up. She was acting a fool.

Scratched Lyra

Katy and Lady were bottom of their class. They're still so young it's really hard to judge.

Briar has yet again refused to walk and refused to set up. She does fine at home. I think she's on the chopping block . Really on the fence about her future with me.

Breed her and keep a doe kid back who WILL stand for you? I just had the same feelings towards my alpine last night (as you very well know hahaha) and if they make things that much more difficult, is it worth the added frustration? They are goats, they will be difficult but there is a fine line between "goat" difficult and pure frustration as I am learning the wonderful world of goats.

I sold about 7 difficult Alpines last year. Life is too short.

Just caught up reading, sorry to hear about the neighbor's dogs and the issues with them- hope it gets straightened out quick.

Thanks for sharing the pictures from the show!
