Memorial Day Weekend.
North Carolina Dairy Goat Breeders Association in Rocky Mount, NC.
The following weekend is the Evin Evans Memorial Show in Shelby, NC. Piedmont Dairy Goat Breeders Association.
Tough back to back weekends, so we may not go to Shelby.
Or, if we do we may not decide until after Rocky Mount and may take just a couple of bucks, a couple of Juniors. See who does what in Rocky Mount and if any have 2 legs they may have to make the trip.

If you win 3 grand championships (legs) you are a finished or permanent grand champion.
You get a document and a new registration paper with the CH designation.
Only one leg can be as a Jr.
There are some other guidelines, such as there has to be a certain number of animals in milk in the show to get a leg for the win.

Thanks much for the info! So you get one leg for each show you win grand champion in assuming they meet the min requirements? Does that mean Zamia is close to getting CH?

Zamia is a finished Champion.
She's our only one.
According to our understanding of the rules, we thought that Rosemary had 1 leg. But, my wife was talking to someone at ADGA and they said she has 2. We need to figure that out.
Ginger has 1, Taffy has 1, Clarabelle has 1, Shea has 1, Big Brown has 1, and Moonshine has 1.
So, we have a lot with 1
I think the ones who have the best chance of finishing this year are Rosemary, Clarabelle, Taffy and Big Brown.
Of course I may just have my barn goggles on and I just hope that's the case.

We actually have to get ours all clipped up next week.
We have linear appraisal on May 7th.
Last year it worked out good in that LA was after the show.
Little concerned in that it can get cool at night.
We will need to have some sweaters ready just in case.

Well, Taffy getting a leg would be quite nice! It's always nice to do well in shows- and your girls definitely deserve it. You should come down here for the two ring Nigerian Specialty show in March. You can park your new camper at our place and go have fun in Orlando for a few days too.
Our Orchid got grand champion twice, but the breed was short one Jr the first time (there were 9) and ONE stinkin senior Nigerian in milk to meet sanction the second so neither counted. I'm hoping she will have twins or triplets again and do very well next year. She's a little on the small side so sometimes has trouble excelling the barely-under-height does with a really nice udder just due to capacity.
