Those kind of pieces require an amazing attention to detail so I know he is proud of them.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I am happy with the placings and am looking forward to a break.
I'm going to be making cheese like crazy, before these does get dried up.
Unfortunately we were not able to get any pics.
Just so busy and most of the pics were really blurry.
Last year, the 2016 State fair was our first show EVER.
Clover was first place Sr. kid.
This year Red Hot was first place Sr. Kid.
They are both out of Ruthie! Thought that was pretty cool.
I am so tickled about Zephyr going first in her class.
Some might remember when we got Zeph years ago she was in really rough shape, severely anemic and wormy. It definitely stunted her growth, she just barely meets the height and weight standard for lamanachas. She was the smallest goat in her class, but the judge really liked her and moved her up the line. I knew she was a pretty goat
Truthfully I only brought her to the show, hoping she'd be in the top 10 for the premiums. Going first was a nice surprise

What age class is Zeph ?

That box is amazing. Apparently y'all have to wait in line, DD1 wants to know how much it would cost and she wants the next one 
I guesstimated a price based on the 30 hours. Given the detail and skill needed, I used $50/hr, it clearly isn't a minimum wage "job". She said "I don't think I could afford a box".

That's great
I always put more stock in how a mature doe places
Didn't get to spend as much time with you this year since we were in a different tent
Glad to see you did well

It was fun chatting with you and Maurine- for the minutes here and there. Your goats looked great and you guys did great!
Since this was our first year all we really have had were juniors... but we have learned a lot.
There were so many beautiful goats there.
So impressed with the work that Nigerian breeders have put into their goats.
When GW sent me the text that Zephyr was first she added a second line that said "not kidding"

This is kinda show/ and Ruth "line" recap-
Unfortunately, we did not get any good pics last weekend (at the show)
But I was just looking through some and had to post these, even if they aren't great.
I cropped/resized the pics so you can actually see the goats, the the pic size might look a little weird.
This is Clover last year- first place senior kid (2016) under Joseph Pilotte.
Lil' Joe/Ruthie kid
She has since earned her dry leg, and has been a very competitive yearling milker!
Red Hot AKA Peanut. She is also very competitive and earned her dry leg. Pictured at 4 months and 7 months.
This is from the NC state fair. First place Senior kid 2017!
I was trying to get her to be still in the last pic. She likes to look straight up at me
It was kinda special to me- my first year anniversary of showing and having these great results. I am so pleased with Ruth- she hasn't been shown because she is over 4 and has never been to a show. I don't want to put her through the unneeded stress. She has done a good job though.
CarolinaGirl has been no slouch either. I am very happy with this doe and I love her udder!
She has earned her dry leg as well
We just repeated the Lil' Joe/Ruth breeding in hopes of some more great kids Fingers crossed for does!
Lil' Joe pictured below-
Just for fun- this was Ruthie's FF buckling.
I think the owner got a heck of a deal.
I am keeping CarolinaGirl's twin doelings and Clover's buckling (for now anyway).
They are all out of Isaac, as is Peanut and Lemon. I am so excited to see this group grow and I am on "pins and needle" to see them freshen!
Anyway, that is my ramble for the day
