We had a good fair.
Not great like last years
We took 0 pictures
I'm off next week
Will take some "after fair"
Pics :)

Freday was GC Toggenburg in the youth show
Climate had best udder

In the Nigerians youth show
All we remember was Clarabelle was first place aged doe
You know you take your ups and downs in the show ring and I'm not going to complain
But I do remember that the judge picked the yearling doe as reserve grand champion over Clarabelle that appraised 92 eeee
I had a what the heck moment on that one folks




Marigold was Reserve Grand Champion Jr Doe in Nigerian Open Show
OMG there had to have been 100 Jr's in the show.
Marigold is a yearling and I know there was 26 in her age group

Shea was first place 3 year old milker and her dam Cocoa was 2nd place aged doe
Really pumped about Shea
Nigerian open show was super competitive
Zamia and Clarabelle finished 4th and 5th in the Champion Challenge
You know it was competitive when does that appraise 91 and 92 finish 4th and 5th

I just saw the post on the bees. I have never heard of cotton honey, I didn't even know that cotton was pollinated, very little is grown in CA and none where I live so I don't know much about it. I have cucumbers in bloom right now too and the bees are all over them. We would be in a world of hurt with no bees. I have a couple of volunteer sunflowers that came up very late; they are blooming now. It made me realize that I should plant some next late next year to give the bees a fall crop. We won't have frost until the middle of Nov so I can grow crops late, it is nice to be different.

Good job on the show.

When we first started showing we used to hear people talk about how they wouldn't
Show under this judge or that
I think I got to that point this weekend
I just don't know the eyes that placed a yearling FF in front of a 5 yo that appraised 92 EEEE
