[OneFineAcre]

I just posted
I think Rachel has changed her mind
Her mom could use the help here
I'm counting on GW to show Cocoa
Actually was going to try to work that if Rachel did go

Y'all do realize the State Fair Youth show has been split into 2 shows just like the open show because of the numbers
Sannens LaManchas Nubians and Nigerians in Ring 1
Toggs Obs Grades and Alpines in 2

So you guys will have to juggle in both shows

They will pick a BIS in both rings but in the youth show the 2 judges will
decide the Overall Best for the $1,000

It will be the same in the open show they will just switch judges

One of the judges at the State Fair put a post on this Dairy goat Pedigree FB page to post pics of your Toggs and a link to their Pedigree
I did
She "liked" it
One of her Bucks is Climate Control's sire

Wow! That's crazy! I don't think there's any premiums like that in FL. I don't think I'll make enough to cover the entry/vet fee at the show I'm going to this fall.

We are right across from y'all
I'm roughing it at the Econo Lodge
GW is watching mine for me
Your DH loaned me a bottle of Power Aid to add to their water
They were eating good but not drinking enough
He actually gave me a good show tip
When the fair goers go to reach in to pet your goats tell them they bite
It works like a charm

So glad "we" are across from each other!
You may have to tell DH which goats are which when he starts running them. LOL

They were setting up tents last time I talked to them.

Why is the show starting so late? Is that the norm?

Dh ... if that doesn't work ( goats bite thing) he will get very creative...

The above pic is hilarious.

Saturday morning was a busy one- with 3 gone to the Show me and DS had to take care of the farm and milk etc.
My one grown son (doesn't live at home) kept texting- asking if everyone was home he had a surprise.
I informed him of the goings on.
He continued to text and I guessed he was stopping by ...
He kept texting T-5
T-4
T-3
at this point I was filling bottles and way behind schedule
next text says "go outside"

I thought hmmm- I didn't see him pull up...
and then...

I HEARD IT!

I heard a plane!

I knew right away!

I ran out the door hollered for the others "grab my phone" got some videos and a pic!
He circled around a bunch of times and I must have looked like a real crzy person because I was literally doing this all over the driveway

It made my day!
I was nervous about the show. It really took my mind off it and I am just so proud of my son. He is amazing.

The show went well.

Really blessed to have the family I do.
