MDGA Best of the Midwest in the books! Had a great show and even better time with friends this weekend.
Come for the youth show, have some fun in the open, enjoy the company the most! ❤️
Highlights
Youth
Claire - won in a huge class of Junior showmanship! 1st of 17. So much improvement from last week! She really worked hard.
Zach.. omg! This kid is one to watch out for. He's hungry. Same showmanship class as Claire. But he was there for it! 10th of 17!
Now friends... this class of 8-10 yr old showmanship lasted 1 hour and 20... yes 1 hr & 2-0 minutes! To say I'm proud of them, understatement. Zach was not a fan of the length. But man when I tucked him in Saturday night and he said 'When I get home I'm practicing for an hour each time to get ready for nationals' ❤️❤️❤️ heart full.
Youth saanen highlight- Zach won best of Breed with his showmanship doe and favorite Saanen. Puetz Valley Ranch Rosalina. Rosalina also went on to get a reserve champion in the open show. Claire's doe Voodoo was reserve youth champion Saanen.
Both kids won mostly first and second placings with their goats.
Our Alpine Puetz Valley Ranch Jucy Gossip secured her dry leg in the open show.
Skyler joined us this weekend and I don't know that she even sat down. Had a stellar showmanship ring in the 17-20 class placing 3rd amongst some of the best in the Midwest! She and her favorite doe Puetz Valley Ranch Sam Brie sure make a great pair! Can't wait to see them work together the rest of the season!
Not to mention she was a great help!
Shout out to the best Becky Posusta Fidder & Adam for all the everything! Help, meals, prepping, giggles, and all of it.
And of course Craig Koopmann & Blake. Never dull with 'it's her first trip off the farm' moments & always a pleasure to show with you!
Friends that are family is what we are here for ❤️❤️❤️
