I think they are legible. Thanks for the help! I am nervous as anything and don't even know what questions I should be asking to prepare...
Are you going to show at State Fair? :):):)

@OneFineAcre - Coffee alone is worth getting a generator for! :lol: I was almost on a coffee rampage!

So Clarabelle who didn't settle last year and didn't have a kid this spring apparently came back into milk at some point.
She last freshened April 2017 and milked 2.4 lbs today on milk test. :ep

Maurine didn't enter her in the state fair, but we are discussing substituting her for another doe.

The verdict is we are not going to take Clarabelle
We can only substitute for a doe iin same age class and the only one is Taffy
I don't think she is as good as Taffy at this point

I don't have a lot of time so I'm just going to post what was the high light of our 2018 State Fair for now. I can put more up later.

We had our most successful state fair ever.

In the Nigerian Dwarf Open Show SGCH Little Tots Estate Zamia *M was Grand Champion and GCH One Fine Acre Caramel Taffy 2*M was Reserve Grand Champion.

Zamia and Taffy were joined by OFA Black Opal (2nd place 4 year old) and OFA Marigold (2nd place 2 year old) to make up the winning Dairy Herd.

We were also honored to win both the Premier Exhibitor and Premier Breeder awards for Nigerian Dwarfs under Judge Will Pearson.

I didn't take a picture of Zamia, I figured I would never get one this good. You all might, but I'll never get tired of looking at this girl. :love

Taffy 2.jpg

I think we made a wise choice in sticking with Taffy instead of substituting Clarabelle. Taffy was really looking good on Sunday.

This is our first time with the winning dairy herd. We finished 2nd in 2016

We did well with the Toggenburgs in the Youth Show. I'll tell about them later. I have to leave in a few minutes for a dentist appointment.
