One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Goat Whisperer]

So happy for y'all!

Love that Rosie is now finished!

Thanks so much for letting me show with y'all. I can't wait to do this in the fall with my girls!

Stinks that I needed to leave, but I had to get home.

Y'all did a great job showing and were a tremendous help getting the animals to the show ring
That takes a lot of work and that is one of the main reasons I was glad you could come to the show
Showing an animal is not that difficult
Sure "showmanship" has more involved in it if you want to be really good at it, that's what Cole is trying to teach
But I was hoping you could learn about show management you can't really learn that just going to a show and watching
When we started doing this we didn't have any one to really teach us that
A lot of people in our club are getting older and it is important that we have young people like you who develop a passion for dairy goats
I'm really looking forward to one
day having the RGC behind your GC
Ok I'm really looking forward to having the GC in front of your RGC

It truly does help to have a great mentor. I lucked into that when I started showing. I remember my first show when I took a blow dryer (a human blow dryer) to the show to use on my goats, lol. (Pygmy bucks are very hairy and we show them in full-coat.) A well-known guy brought me his livestock blow dryer to use, showed me how to do the (minimal) clipping that a pygmy goat needs before going in the ring, taught me how to set a goat up, coached me from the sidelines (vey discretely of course) and introduced me to lots of other folks who could help.

There is a very special place for folks like him, and YOU, who teach the newcomers the ropes even knowing that someday they'll be real competition!

Personally i would have no clue if i got a leg or not but i have about 20 more steps to do before i even think of stepping into a show ring so i hope i will figure that part out before then. If Zamia is finished why do you still show here, im just curious what the reasoning behind it is.

We finally got a second ADGA Sanctioned show in Michigan...this will its first year and they have 219 goats signed up which is awesome! So that will give me two reasonably close shows to go too. There is a third just over the border in Indiana if i really get ambitious.

I almost forgot.... Congratulations on the Finished Champ and the show!!

The show's have a champion challenge that you enter finished champions in. They compete for Best of Breed against the grand champion of the show.
If you are Best of Breed you get to compete against the standard goats for Best in Show. We've had a Jr. Doe picked Best in Show but never a milker

I was thinking about how you guys camp in your trailer during goat shows today. We might camp in ours tomorrow during the horse show. Can't say it's as good though.

We are under seige by a huge and I mean huge black snake that has decided life is large under my deck
He's got to be 7 ft long and he will not leave
My storm door doesn't always close and I came out the back door and almost tripped over him he was between the storm door and the wood door
Any suggestions besides the obvious
Girls are freaked out
