Yeah that's why That's so Raven decided she had enough and laid down on the lady who was showing her for me.
So, I had to switch with her and let her take Eclipse and pick her up and carry her.
That was kind of funny.

I completely missed that. Must've been so focused on CarolinaGirl and Clover lol
You aren't the only one who had to carry goats. BrownEyedGirl wouldn't even walk. I had to carry her the entire time.

You must have really been in the zone then. I had Eclipse right behind you in 3rd place. You held Eclipse's lead while I went back and switched with the lady and she come up and took Eclipse.

You can really wear any type of shoes. This wasn't a "showmanship" competition.
In a showmanship competition you would want to wear some conservative brown or black shoes. No mud boots and you would not want to wear brightly colored shoes.
In a showmanship competition in a very close completion as to how the exhibitor is showing the goat, they then start to nit pick little things like who isn't wearing a belt, shoes, and believe it or not if the goats feet are dirty.

That's so true about showmanship.

I just remembered
The judge in Ring 1 said this was the best class of Nigerian Yearlinga he had seen all year

I had an opportunity to bring in some doelings a while back... unfortunately I git very sick and was not able to get them.
I had been e-mailing some requests but things just were not moving along.
I put it in the Lords hands and decided He always knows what I need, if I need, if I should wait, etc....

..and then there it was!

The original breeder I had wanted does from had several doelings (lamancha)!
Made the trip out of state to pick them up... only to turn around (my DH is awesome!) pick up an unrelated buckling!
This makes it so much easier to move along some of our kids now!

I LOVE the lines these does come from so I feel very blessed to have them!
We need "barn names" for them as their registered names are a NO GO!

Pics were as good as we could get- they have never been on lead.

Black doeling

And this is our new buckling... he is 2 months old and big scaredy cat baby! We had to put him in with the bitty new babies. There is no way we can quarantine him for 30 days. He is truly a baby and was so nervous without a buddy.

Look at Jane's little teeny tiny girl! She was almost like an "afterthought" she is so small. Her brother isn't but boy is she. She can down some milk though! She is going to grow quickly I think. Here she is at 6 days next to the 2 1/2 wk old Nubian kids and the 2 month old buckling!
Yeah, she is ridiculously spoiled and fast and bouncy and a little spitfire! She may be small but she is not frail. LOL
