Our obligatory end of the year show post! ❤️
This year was such a massive blessing. We're so grateful!
We went to a total of 6 shows, plus nationals. From those shows, we took home at least 1 big ribbon from every single one!
●4 GCH wins (2 from homebred kids)
●8 RCH wins (2 from homebred kids)
●25th place (2nd youth) Senior yearling out of 96 at the 2026 ADGA Nat' Show
●3 RCH wins in other herds with Mill-Run animals
There were countless class wins, 2nd, and 3rd places this year, too
We want to give a shoutout to our Southern Grace animals who killed it this year! Fiona placed at Nationals, and then got her leg at the next show out. Casanova picked up 2 RCH wins at his first show out. Our breeding of Southern Grace Catcall and Wasabi made our Buttons and Pepper, both of whom got their junior legs fairly young!
Another honorable shoutout for the year goes to Valley's-edge S Marilyn Monroe who picked up like a million RCH wins this year. Hopefully we can finish the girl off in the coming years!
And lastly, to CH Willow who was only brought out to 1 show for numbers where no CC class was sanctioned. She still managed to pull out a RCH win milked out behind one of our other does— and in front of the rest of our does in the lineup, including Roe which I couldn't help but giggle about
Thank you to everyone who helps make these things happen for us! Especially my (Emily's) dad. He feeds the goats for us and holds down the fort while we're out in neighboring states. He may not realize it, but mom and I really couldn't do half of what we do without his help
We come from a place of upmost humble graciousness. This type of post is a tradition for us, and as our herd begins to win more frequently and we start attending more shows, it becomes more difficult to convey that this is not a post to brag or be arrogant. It's simply just to say how grateful we are for our animals (who are doing most of the work!!), our breeders/mentors, and friends who help us do what we love— raise goats! We're just a mom and daughter, best friend duo sharing the same amazing hobby. We're so excited to see what 2027 holds, and can't wait to see our first kids of the year in January!
