SBC/GW's Journal- Spring shows DONE! & Update

Her family is amazing. I worked in a middle school and there was a little trepidation on my part when I took my first trip to NC to spend a week visiting dairies while staying with @Southern by choice...9 kids at home...what was I getting into??? It was one of the best weeks of my life. Her kids are just a joy to be around, no fighting, doing what they need to do without being told, polite, smart, fun...it made me want to go back for another visit. I had a great time. (Her DH is very nice too, no fighting, doing chores without being told, smart, polite....).

I think the ones that you think look the worse still look pretty good
The heat has had an impact
We have been shutting the Toggs in a stall and feeding extra feed, beet pulp and 2nd cut orchard
They were looking really good but both look thinner today

I think I have one goat that has good flesh, the rest are too thin. IMO. Summers are hard on them.

Can I trade her 2 of mine?
They are smart, usually polite, can be fun, don't do much of nuthin' without being told. At 22 & 24 you would THINK they could notice something needs to be done and do it. They would probably be helpful at SBC's house, at least until they figure out they aren't guests

Yep, that's the hard thing when you are showing 4 different breeds (well, experimentals/grades aren't an actual breed…) Grades, Nigerians, Lamanchas, & now Nubians It gets busy and rather hectic. Fingers crossed for good placings.

Last year I only took 7 goats to that show. It's quite a jump! Last year there were over 800 goats total, 300 being Nigerians. Can't wait to see the turnout this year.

@OneFineAcre did you get your entries in? Only a few days left!

24 goats? yup, you need a horse trailer! Using a 4 horse or a gooseneck that holds 6?
