Best of the Midwest was a great show, great volunteers and excellent turnout! Thank you to the show committee, especially huge shout out to Shellie Gilberston and Kirsten Zoellner for all of their hard work in putting this show on.
Started with a huge youth show, Maya was 6/16 for showmanship, which she was excited about. Zoe’s class was so big it was cut and she made the cut this year and placed 8th. The Costume class was a highlight with Maya’s milk and Cookies entry and Zoe was a nurse with an injured goat. Cousin Daisy won as a Zombie Hunter!
I (Emily) just brought three Alpines, two yearlings and a 2 yr old, but they did well. Yearling Kara Kahl Jamon Aja was 1 x 1st, 2 x 2nd of 7. Assisi placed 2x 3rd, 1 x 4th. My two yr old Amberness was 2 x 1st and 1 x 3rd of 10. Just a few ring shots of Aja and Amberness to share. Both need to deepen out over the summer and I am excited to see how they look by August/September.
Summer will be pretty relaxed for the goats show wise with Nationals not in their future this year, so they can sit back and just mature and produce for the next couple months.
