Old South came to a few shows down here and took it all too! But, at least it's good competition and I'm always grateful when the winning goats are on milk test and aren't just " pretty."

I don't mind getting beat by good goats
Don't know if you talked to her or not but she was a nice lady

Maurine had some friends from our club help her tattoo all of the kids today, banded a couple of bucklings, gave baycox, cd&t vaccines and even had a go at one of our botched disbuddings
Glad we have become friends with these folks
The daughter who is in her early 20s and knows goats house sit when Maurine came to Shelby
She said she would be glad to house sit for us if we wanted to take a vacation this year
She will stay here, feed, and milk twice a day for $40 a day
I think that is a bargain

So we talked to some folks
At Shelby about how they udder their goats for LA
She said just like for a show
ADGA says you don't have to clip or udder them up
She said no you don't have to if you don't want a good score

I posted back in April that I was going to start fencing area 3. Been so busy never got around to posting that this was done. Drawing isn't really to scale. The does are in area 1 and the bucks in 2. There is a gate from both areas into 3 so that both can be rotated into the space..

Angel has a new spot to hang out. I think she could probably get out of the fence if she wanted to.

Looking good! I've got a pic that will almost match yours! My LGD likes to get on top of the bales also...makes for a better 'watching' spot I guess!
