Growing up around a small breeding operation, FFA and 4-H, she is also very comfortable with livestock for your senior picture needs!

Finally, we have the Parker sisters! They took our later born twins Fetty Wap and Birdie to the fair.

Unfortunately after the twins left DPA in late April, we lost touch until the fair. So I invited the girls to work with me and all of our kids fair week leading up to shows.

Jocelyn, 12, took notes very quickly and was just cool as a cucumber start to finish. 😂 She’s a natural!

Miranda, 17, came back to me more than once before shows started eager to learn more and continue practicing. She wanted to get it right, and she took everything we worked on and put it all in the ring. She doubted herself at first, but came in much more confident each show.

They both did SO great and only with a few hours of crash courses! I am certain if they show goats next year, they will be confident and tough competitors.

Proud of both you! You are both very coachable and kind young ladies. Though our time was short, I am glad I had the opportunity to work with you both! 💜

Our first time goat shower! Saige has been in the pig world and decided to try something new this year, and I think she had some fun!

We got to work together a bit over the summer, getting her comfortable with ring presence and bracing. Her DPA wether out of Fancy we thought would stay on the lighter side. WRONG-she beefed him up in no time. 😂 She showed him in addition to her out of county red.

Her showmanship show, not gonna lie, she looked stressed. I mean, who wouldn’t? Pigs and goats are NOT the same. She did so good!

The next 2 days she came out much more confident and poised - even caught her smiling a few times. 😊 I think they might be a confirmed goat loving family!

She picked up a 3rd place with Mr. Pickles (her red) and 5th place with Buckley in her Market class!

Congratulations, Saige! Can’t wait to see what you do next year!

This girl. I’ve been trying to get her on our roster for some years now. Finally the stars aligned! Sweet Payton Christensen, to know her is to love her, and if you have a chance to know her and her family consider yourself blessed. Payton is the type of young lady that makes you want to be a better person-like her! She has a heart of gold, eager to please and LOVES her animals. Her family checked on US all of fair trying to find opportunities to make Coltyn and I’s lives easier, which we are very grateful for!

She took her DPA wether Boone to the fair this year with her wether from Westfall. We got to work on adjusting her stance for her to get her big boys braced in the ring. Luckily she is strong because they were sturdy wethers! She is incredibly coachable and showed those boys so well in tough classes.

She took home 4th place in her Market class with her Westfall wether, and 5th place with Boone in her County Produced class!

We are so proud of you, Payton! Not just because of how you did at the fair-but because of the wonderful young lady you are in and out of the show ring. Thank you for working with us!

(For of glimpse of her kind heart…see the last photo. 🥹😍)

Lexy Sanders! Arguably the most intense showman I’ve ever seen. She hides every ounce of her nerves behind that gorgeous face.

We met Lexy last show season, so she’s been with us for 2 years. She bought a doe from us and fell in love with her. Then an unfortunate freak accident ended with her does leg broken past the point of repair and she had to go to the Lord in June 2025. She still had a wether from a different breeder-so I still got to have the opportunity to work with her over the summer and through that fair.

This year she wanted to try her hand at one of our big wethers. He was the sweetest bottle baby, but he certainly never stayed bottle baby size. Big Herm weighed in at 106 lbs for fair, Lexy weighing in at only 110 lbs herself.

We switched her show stance up more than one time after we got to the fair, and you would NEVER know that she was struggling to brace that big boy. She is extremely coachable. She made it look so effortless the whole time. 🤩

She cashed in on 2nd place in her showmanship class with her doe.

5th with her wether in her Market class.

4th with her wether in her County Produced class.

She also has dairy goats that her and her sister showed so well! It landed her a spot in the Showman of Show!

We are so proud to be a part of your journey, Lexy! Great job! ❤️

Next up! Adisann Brentlinger! She has been with us for 5 years. Our barn is her barn, because she and her family spend lots of time there. From helping during kidding season, to coming over to cuddle and play with all of the babies and still stopping by to give snacks to the does, Moose and chickens in the “off season”. Shes very active in 4-H, soccer/softball and the list goes on. Being busy doesn’t stop her and her big sis Katie from being in the barn giving ample time to their fair projects.

Living 1/2 mile down the road and being a NW student I obviously get to spend a great deal more time with her. Much like Lilly Tirey, she’s eager to learn how to do it all on her own. So at the end of last season, I put a pair of clippers in her hands and told her 2026 was her year to learn. So she did! She did 2 jackpot shows to prep for the fair and groomed her goat prior to. Coltyn and I assist with final clean up and legs but next year I know she’ll be a pro at it.

Tuesday morning Adi got 1st in her class for market showmanship with Reba and came back in and got reserve in her division.

This winter, Adi approached me about trying production shows this fair. Of course she wanted to show her girl Fancy! We all love Fancy-she’s super cool looking and she’s the best goat-but I know her paint color doesn’t often do well. I tried to encourage her to take any doe OTHER than Fancy, but the girl stood on business! Tuesday afternoon she picked up a 2nd place ribbon showing Fancy in Market Production class. Then Adi showed Reba accompanied by Katie showing Fancy in the Mother-Daughter Production class and took 1st place! 🥇 My jaw hit the dirt covered show ring floor. And might I add, I’ve been telling Katie I would get her in the ring one day showing a goat for us-we did and she showed Fancy in the mother-daughter show like a BOSS!

Wednesday in Market Show she picked up a 5th place ribbon with Reba and 2nd place ribbon with Stella!

Thursday in County Produced Show, she snagged a 3rd place ribbon with Reba in her class. She placed 1st in an extremely competitive weight class with Stella, then came back in and won Reserve Champion County Produced Doe.

Of course we are all over the moon for her-but the best thing as I go through photos of these shows, is watching joy on other peoples faces when she wins.

Then the sweetest thing. I happen to find the first doe Adi ever showed in the production barn, Jolene. She was so excited to see her again!

What a week for this family! They deserve it!

We love you, kiddo!

First up! Our senior showman, Lilly Tirey. She juggles school, a job, and showing multiple species at the fair. She has always shown with a very impressive set of showman and she holds her own! She is a glutton for punishment. She (almost) always picks the biggest one in our barn every.single.year. Yukon weighed in at 96 lbs., which I think is her biggest from us. He made her work so hard physically, but he showed him so well! They took home 4th in her market class and 5th in her county produced class. She’s been with DPA for 5 years, and each year she impresses us more with her showing and fitting skills. Way to go, Lilly! We are so proud of you! 🎉❤️
