well guys, still no turkeys and still no mama duck. sad I am. . maybe another time.
I was going thru some old pictures yesterday looking for some pictures for a cousin of mine and came across some from "back in the day". that I thought I would share. no laughing please cause it will hurt my feelings and then i'll cry. I know the pictures aren't sharp and clear but remember the cameras then were not the best. these pictures were back in the late '70's and early '80's. I think the show was in '83 at the nationals. you'll notice that my goats had ears back then. the black and white pics were at the state game farm in French creek, w.va. I was selling them goats milk for $5.00 a gallon for them to feed to the orphaned wildlife that they got in. anything from opossum's up to black bears with the fawn deer getting the most of it. the last pic is of str#1's dairy herd at a show in ny state. sorry about the condition of the picture but you can get an idea about the girls anyway. long ago and far away...

ADGA Nationals?

@Bruce about the ears, actually it was before I found out how good goat ears are deep fried..
@Green Acres Farm, yes the adga nationals. it was a lot of fun. the black sr. kid was 6th out of 43 entries, the yearling milker was 20th of 35 and the 3 year old was 4th. since that was my first nationals I was thrilled with the results. and no I don't have a mega memory, all the results were written on the back of the pictures.
@CntryBoy777 it was so neat to be able to help save all those animals. the director of the facility was a member of my church and was talking about how poorly the fawns were doing on milk replacer and I offered to give him goats milk for them but since is was a state facility he couldn't just take it but had to pay me. they went from saving 2 or 3 fawns a year to 75 -100 a year. next he was fussing that he was running out of places to release them. I loved it and so did he.

thanks OFA. so many years ago. I loved every minute of it but wouldn't do it again I don't think. I forgot to tell you that betty, the goat with the wattles belongs to str#1. she is a really nice doe who milks like a dream.

Love the old pics, from "back in the day". That was so cool, that you were able to be a part of saving so many animals with your goat's milk.
