Zamia did the best she has ever done I think. 2.9 lbs.
Taffy made 2.3 lbs and Opal 2.0 lbs.
Toggs
Climate 7 lbs.
Freeday 4.7 lbs

Edited:
I had Freeday wrong. It is 4.7 lbs

So Maurine and our tester are doing 2nd test now
But good news
There are 2 less does being tested tonight than this morning
I sold Amber and Black Eyed Susan and their wethers as a package today
We just paid our registration for the Memorial Weekend show and this covers it
We have 2 more sold that are leaving next weekend ( Itty Bitty and a wether )
That will cover about 2/3 of the Memorial Weekend show expense
I've rented a 26 ft 2016 Camper
We do this weekend up

My hay guy has baled some wonderful oat hay
Baled at the ideal time
Last couple of years weather has caused problems with the normal oat hay we see

Self supporting (or at least partially) is always a good thing

The Memorial Weekend show is kind of out of our vacation budget ..
So if I can cover 2/3 from goat sales its a big win

Cookie should have been on a grill 3 years ago when she was still tender
Don't know why this goat is still here

I love the sign, what a fantastic line up of some excellent goats. Covering most of the expenses of going to the show is a happy event. Congrats on the sales, and at the right time too!
