Wisconsin State Fair 2026 🎡🎟️

This is a long post as this was definitely a year to remember! In the midst of the chaos we forgot to do our annual photoshoot of the herd against the pretty purple backdrop, so we are planning a impromptu picture day at home, so unfortunately pictures of the girls are limited!

I tried something new this year and brought down dairy and Boer goats to Juniors, 4/4 dairy goats and 2/4 Boer goats were bred and owned! Here’s the highlights from that amazing weekend!

Since 2 trips down to Milwaukee was't enough this year, we made it 3, as I went down Tuesday and Wednesday for the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction, where I interviewed as a scholarship finalist and was awarded a $2,000 scholarship. Not bad for “just a dairy goat kid”! We also watched Ethan Fitzpatrick be recognized for his Impact Grant that allowed him to purchase a new Southdown breeding ewe! It was the first time we visited the state fair without a trailer full of goat behind us, it was so excited to see a new side of fair!

This year we brought 16 girls down to the Open show, and I couldn’t be prouder of them! More in depth placings will be posted when we have corresponding photos, but for now here are the big highlights!

✨Oberhasli Premier Breeder✨

Throughout the fair, I was once again asked to participate in Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board’s Dairy Lane, where I gave goat milking demonstrations and educated the public on WI dairy, this is always such a fulfilling part of the fair as you watch people recognize where their food is coming from in real time!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me out through these crazy past 2 weeks! Especially Halverson Family Farm, I couldn’t have done it with out you! See everyone next year!

The herd made it down for trip no. 3 to the WI state fair! (Details on trip no. 2 yet to come).

We are in the swine and goat barn, right next to the show ring, until Sunday! Please stop buy and pick up some stickers!!

It’s 3 am, but we are all settled in to the WI state fair! Come visit us in the sheep and goat barn 8/7-8/9 for the junior show and the 8/14-8/16 in the swine barn for the open dairy show! Now we are ready to get *some* sleep before showmanship prep and check in at 8 am!

Another LAX Cty fair in the books, and possibly the last.

This year was memorable in a whole different way. For the first year, my meat animals exceeded my dairy! (Though I only brought one dairy doe…)

My animals and I all accomplished amazing things this week, in fact, every animal I brought was first in its class and most were champion of their division!

This year had a lot of first and lasts! It felt like I was truly wrapping up my 4-H
career after a decade in the program! Yet, it was my first year showing sheep and breeding Boers at the fair! And, to my knowledge, the first time a Boer goat has won the General Goat category and placed in Supreme goat! Thank you to everyone who has helped me on this long journey, there’s really are too many people to mention, especially those who came together as a ‘farm family’! You know who you are!! A GIANT thank you to Bangor Veterinary Service for not only purchasing my market goat this year, but for being such an amazing, knowledgeable, and caring resource to my project since the start!

***Pending Pick Up***

I’m starting college this fall and that means it’s time to make some very hard cuts in my herd! Wish I could keep this doe, she is definitely not a cull.

Double Back Carmina Burana
(Barn name “Nibs”)

Nibs is a super sweet 2 yr old FF Oberhasli from one of my most productive lines, milking wise and in the ring. Please PM for additional details on her and her pedigree!

We are home from nationals and have had lots of time in the car to reflect on what an amazing week it was! To any youth on the fence about running for youth rep, DO IT! The connections I’ve built have truly made the lack of sleep worth it! It was also so educational and eye-opening to learn all the inner workings of the ADGA National show! The amount of effort and preparation should not be taken for granted, and the whole committee is amazing at doing their very best!

Because of my awesome team of supporters, I got to bring a group of my own does to MA aswell!! Here are their highlights!

Jr Obers:

✨Double Back Viva La Vida
- 8th place Sr kid, 2nd youth

✨Best 3 Jr Does
-6th place

✨Jr Get of Sire (Double Back Bouy)
-8th place

Sr Obers:

✨Double Back Cassiopeia
- 5th place Milking yearling, 1st youth

✨Ober-Boerd Kissed By Light
- 14th place 2yr old, 2nd youth

✨Dehuene SNL Shadows
-20th place 2yr old

Youth Events:

✨7th place Senior Management

✨ADGA Youth Representative
(Chair and pottery are from my service as youth rep!)

Showing took a backseat this year as my Youth Rep duties were first priority, though I’m grateful to have still gotten in the ring with my Sr Obers!! Huge thank you to Arianna Jepson, Katelyn Halverson, and Rebecca Froseth for handling my does and keeping them in line while I was at the ring! You are really what made this all possible!

Finally, I had the amazing opportunity to display a spotlight sale supporting animal for Heidi Benson!! Thank you for trusting me to handle your gorgeous Sables, they potentially might be the next token breed in my herd…

I’m thankful that we were able to safely make the trip (rip to only 2 tires), and while the does might not have thrived in the heat, they powered through and stayed healthy! To all the herds still on the road; stay safe on the road and in fluctuating weather!

We will see everyone again soon in Oregon!!

We made it through night one on our slow meander home. The girls are much happier to be traveling primarily in the early, early morning, as they get to avoid the scorching heat. (I, however, could do without the 2 am wake up call)

This was such an amazing facility that was so welcoming towards us and our herd! I don’t know how the girls felt about the big, scary horses. They’re a lot bigger than their donkey friends lol.

We have one more night on the road, planning to get there around noon, letting our girls relax in the afternoon heat! Humans and goats are all eager to get back home!!

We are officially on the road back home!

Nationals 2026 will forever hold a special place in my heart and I’m so grateful for all the amazing people surrounding me who allowed me to have such a great experience as youth rep, while also being able to exhibit my own heard! Special shoutouts to Miru Kunst and Katelyn Halverson!

More pictures and results will be coming soon, but for now we’re focused on beating the heat and getting some sleep!

Definition of ‘dead asleep’ Nationals is exhausting for both the humans and the goats!
