One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[OneFineAcre]

Ok seems like I am going to Shelby
Haven't decided yet on the lineup
Definitely Zamia and Taffy as millers
Opal and Molly as Jrs
Big Brown is a definite buck
And either Fortunato or Moonshine
And maybe Cocoa as milker

After further debate I will not take goats to the Shelby Show this weekend
Too much going on
Our Linear Appraisal is the following weekend 6/13
I have some folks coming from Ohio to get goats which currently are not tattooed on 6/13
Other logistical issues
I was just all tense about everything and knew going to a show without Maurine and Rachel was not going to be fun
If it stops being enjoyable why do it?

@animalmom
You "liked" my post too soon
If you gave it another day it would change
Seems I'm going to Shelby
The Piedmont club posted on Facebook that they didn't have enough entries to break even so I'm taking 7 animals to try to help support their club and show

Seems I'm late to the party too - sooooo
1. Sounds like fun!
2. I'm so sorry - sometimes you just have to make those hard decisions to set one out.
3. Awesome! (there's definitely something to be said for a nice small show)

Have a great time!

Am I back and forth or what?
So I'm going Friday afternoon by myself and showing bucks Friday night
Only two in different age groups
Milkers Sat
Taking two does in same age group and club president said her son would show one for me
Believe me I'll let him show the better of the two he is so much better at it than me
Maurine and Rachel will come after
Farmers market on Sat and they can do Jrs and I will hang out at hotel
We are taking Zamia for Champ Challenge
Taffy has one leg and Big Brown has a leg
Taking Cocoa and Fortunato
And taking two Jrs Molly and Opal
Honestly if anyone gets a leg it will be worth it
And then any ribbons with a rosette

Ok
So no change today still going
The bright side is my wife is being very nice to me
She better be!!
And she has some friends who are going to help tattoo the goats leaving next week
I don't know if you remember the folks who lost the buckling in a fire in OH who had the 6 year old son who we told we would give him a replacement?
They are also dilivering a couple to the area

Good Luck at the show! So how young can the goats be that are shown?

 

[OneFineAcre]

No age limit
They have jr kids
Intermediate kids
Sr kids
Jr dry yearlings
And
Sr dry yearlings
It's broken down by age
We only show kids as intermediata or as yearlings

 

[Hens and Roos]

okay those are the similar categories as our fair here- right now we are looking at the kids showing- 2 intermediate doelings, possibly 1 jr yearling and not sure on the older does yet- given that Maggie is due the end of June, she(and her kids) wont go- I think that would be to stressful.

Of course this depends on when we get our information from ADGA for our tattoo


Keep us posted on how it goes!

Well I'm here
Gonna show two rings of bucks tonight
