Nobody is too good to go out and eat the weeds, especially when it's this cool.
It's easy to get caught up in wanting to "keep up with the Jones's" and have a nice pretty pasture, but ultimately the goal of forage is to provide nutrition for livestock. Non toxic weeds can actually be a good source of protein, and the goats will eat them better than the grass. As much as I want to bush hog and spray everything this time of year. 😂 I don't think there would be anything edible left.

Had a fun day at the Capital City Caprine Classic yesterday! This was a new show only 40 minutes from us that I didn't have to help run or judge!

Obers as usual around here were in AOP so I was glad the girls could hold their own. I only brought does that weren't finished and didn't have a dry leg which made for a fairly small group at this point in the year.

AOP:
4yo Starlight 2x 1st
Sr kid Seraphina 1st & JrGCH first ring, pulled from second ring
Sr kid Tupelo Honey 1x 1st, 1x 2nd

Recorded Grade:
2yo Daydreamer 2x 1st

Only got a picture of Daydreamer who doesn't have much capacity currently but she's such a cool young doe. She's on a milk through lactation from last spring when she freshened right at a year old, and she's due mid November so she's ready to dry off now. She has a lot going for her including knock-out general appearance, but my favorite is how well-extended, wide, and full to the side her fore udder is. Hoping she'll produce more doe kids for me than her dam has.

I've been slacking on our milk tests lately. To be fair I struggle just to get them done in the midst of show season. 🤦‍♀️ And it's hot and humid here so not necessarily great numbers but I wanted to post them anyways for full transparency- if you're gonna post them at 13 lb, you should post them also at 5 something.
Yesterday it was 92* and I realized while I was running around on farm calls that I forgot to turn their fans back on after 8/30 PM milking. 🤦‍♀️ So honestly I'm not too upset it wasn't worse in this heat when they aren't going out to graze and I still have to find time to pick up more alfalfa after state fair.
Excuses. 🤪 Should've done our milk test at state fair when they were cruising in the AC with free choice alfalfa!

Kentucky State Fair results:

I knew when I entered there would be very few Oberhasli/AOP entries. Sure enough, it was basically just us 😅, plus one other junior Ober.
So with legs out the window I thought it would be appropriate to legitimately show everybody to their best advantage. It was really fun getting all these does uddered up and comparing them to each other. Most of these does have never competed against each other because I typically just show 2-4 milking does at a given show, no more than one per class, and once they finish they typically are done showing aside from a rare champion challenge class. Infinity and Ivette for example despite being close in age, never showed together- Ivette finished just before she was 2. Starlight and Imagine, both 4yo, never showed together- Imagine was my favorite and campaigned to finish first. So it was neat to get everybody in lineup and see the actual similarities and differences. It was also neat that the honors of grand and reserve went to my two youngest does- as a breeder you want your youngest animals to be your best because that means you're making progress.

Junior does:
Sr kids- Seraphina 1st, Tupelo Honey 2nd
Dry yearling: Lamborghini 1st
Lamborghini Jr GCH (she looked really good 😍)

Senior does:
2yo Tonya 1st
3yo Ivalyn 1st
4yo Starlight 1st, Imagine 2nd
5+ Infinity 1st, Ivette 2nd
Tonya GCH, Ivalyn ResCH
Dam and daughter with Infinity/Imagine 1st
Dairy herd 1st

Premier exhibitor AOP

Almost forgot I showed recorded grades! They held their own with much stronger competition, all placing in the top 3 in some deep classes.

Dry yearling Tiger Lily 3rd
2yo Daydreamer 1st (as a milk through and due in November- she's my most exciting up and coming)
Aged does Dotty 2nd and Delilah 3rd
We had a couple groups but I don't remember how they did 😅. Dam and daughter with Dotty and Daydreamer, produce of dam for Dotty with Daydreamer and Delilah. I think one was first and the other was second but it's a blur.

The does were living their best life in the AC with alfalfa in front of them 24/7! Saw a definite bump in milk production with that.
We are home now and trying to recover. Appreciate all the help received throughout the week trying to manage 13 goats and two small children by myself.

Settled in at the Kentucky State Fair!
I decided to go the next step beyond just the farm sign this year. Not much but fits into some big everyday goals of mine: sharing my love for the Oberhasli breed (especially with very few in Kentucky) and encouraging the public to consider goat milk. ❤️

We show junior does tomorrow, senior does Saturday.

Pimento cheese with a chevre base

Every now and then I make time for cheese. We use a lot of our goat milk- never enough, but I'm getting tired of dealing with pigs 😅, so need to get back to using milk and cheese in basically every dish.

Earlier this summer we tried this pimento cheese recipe (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/189930/southern-pimento-cheese/) minus a couple of the spicier optional add-ins.

2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento, drained
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
salt and black pepper to taste

Substituted goat cheese in place of cream cheese and it's kind of awesome! A tub barely lasts a couple days here. Slap it on some homemade toasted sourdough with homegrown lettuce and tomato. 😋

I use chevre in place of cream cheese in about any recipe. Yogurt instead of sour cream. Those are the only things I've really got down but they are quite versatile.

What are your favorite uses for goat milk and/or favorite cheese recipes?

CH White Rock Farm Arch Delilah
6yo experimental (50% Alpine, 25% Oberhasli, 25% Saanen)
https://genetics.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=E002106131

Milked out but she's only doing 4-5 lb on this milk through lactation.
At 75% "huge goat," Delilah weighs 196 lb and is a good reminder that although I prefer my Oberhasli on the taller than average side, the goal is definitely not to have them Alpine sized because she's a little too big and she knows it. (My husband loves her because he can treat her like a cow. Also she is one of 3 does in the herd with non breakaway collars.)
She will steal and raise anybody's kid, as will one of her daughters.
Delilah is my only Dotty daughter to come out any color other than white (and one of only 4 Dotty daughters ever across 8 freshenings). At this point I have 2 Delilah daughters and 2 granddaughters. Delilah herself has been 5th at Nationals, and she's had two daughters also place in the top 3. Granddaughter Tiger Lily earned her dry leg this past weekend.
I have a fun breeding lined up for Delilah this fall, excited to see what happens with that.

Trying to dry up everybody not going to State Fair.

Blue-Ridge Time & Again said "hold my beet pulp."

I guess I gotta start getting her out next year as a 6yo now that most of my younger does are finished (Starlight needs 1 more leg). There are some things that drive me crazy about her that have kept her from showing but she looks good right now! Bigger value as a brood doe.

Bluegrass and Bourbon Dairy Goat Classic - Mercer County KY Fair

So 3 of us here in Mercer County decided to put on a goat show. It was a TON of work but totally worth it. More on that on the Kentucky Dairy Goat Association page. But also my animals definitely took a back seat. We were just there to get through the day 😅, I never even switched anybody to show chains and we just did our best with the situation, I did well to get goats into the ring at all and thank everybody who stepped up to help.

The combined show was a numbers game. We had exactly enough Oberhasli to be able to get milking legs on does. 2yo Tonya completed her championship!

The junior doe show did not disappoint. Always makes me feel better about my program when I can be competitive in AOP with Toggs, Sables, Saanens, and Guernseys. Likewise an Ober type kid in a good competitive recorded grade show.

Dry yearling recorded grade Tiger Lily (Hercules x Dahlia) earned her dry leg. Also Seraphina (Beau x Starlight) won her fairly large AOP senior kid class in one ring.

But my favorite win of the day was dry yearling Lamborghini (Hercules x Lexus) won AOP Junior champion in one ring. Lambo fractured her left rear limb in January. Although the actual break healed quickly, it was in close proximity to the hock and the loss of functionality was evident as she could barely flex that joint. Lambo was on stall rest for 3 months, she had various stages of wraps and splints, she was on meloxicam and Adequan, daily PT to try to regain both strength and flexibility. It was a LOT. I'd accepted maybe she wouldn't be the show doe she was supposed to be (heartbreaking after dealing with Ika last year). So it was quite validating when she showed so well against VERY strong AOP competition for her dry leg.

Now to gear up for state fair. It's just Oberhasli and Guernseys in AOP and I don't feel like dragging everything out (limiting myself to 2 per class), so not likely any legs to be earned. Excited to get all these girls bagged up and competing against each other looking their best in a few weeks.
