ICE Acres Dairy Goats

What an experience this year’s National Show was.

I’ve been at a loss for words ever since we got home. The entire week was overwhelming in the best possible way. I may have cry a bit each day as these does continued to exceed every expectation I had for them. There were so many moments that I’ll never forget.

It all started with winning the Senior Kid class with ICE ACRES IR SUMMIT & FIR, a daughter of WOLFIVAN ISLAND ROOT. The lesson is simple, buy the buck… and figure out how to use him. They’re in the spotlight for a reason. Island Root also went on to place 3rd in Get of Sire, while our homebred buck, ICE ACRES ARC AVIV, earned 5th in Get of Sire. Seeing our breeding program represented so well was incredibly rewarding.

Another highlight was watching nearly all of our homebred milkers place Top 10, with the most rewarding being ICE ACRES ARC TWILIGHT GREY, who earned 2nd Place and 1st Udder in the 2-Year-Old class.

Thursday, senior Saanen show is a day I’ll never forget. Both of our does won their classes and were named 1st Place and 1st Udder, DD CREAMERY HELEN in the 2 Year Old class and MINI ROSA JACKPOTS OLIVIA in the 3 Year Old class. Having both does standing in the Grand Champion lineup was something I’ll always cherish, and sharing that moment with Olivia’s breeder T.C Sox made it even more special. Helen continued on to be named the 2026 National Reserve Champion Saanen and National Reserve Best Udder. It still doesn’t quite feel real.

As the day came to a close, we settled into the social event and added another exciting spotlight buck to the herd: HAYMAKERS AG BLACK GOLD. His genetics have already proven to complement our breeding program exceptionally well, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for him.

We finished the evening at the awards ceremony, where Harry and I had the incredible honor of receiving Reserve Premier Breeder of Nigerians. That’s an award I’ve dreamed about. This is our hobby. We pour our hearts into it because we truly love these animals and this community. The dairy goat world has become such a meaningful part of our lives, and I know it always will.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, and celebrated these moments with us. We’re already looking forward to what’s next.

We made it home safely this morning around 08:30am. We left the Big E at 2am yesterday morning. Made multiple stops to make sure the goats were ok in the heat while we drove through the day. Had to stop a few times for the both of us to nap in the early morning. 😬🫣😳 Nationals post to come soon

As we settle into the National Show, the culmination of our show season, I’ve been reflecting on everything our herd has accomplished this year. We don’t often post about our results in the show ring because life on the farm keeps us busy, but looking back though the season we’re incredibly proud of our growing herd!

A couple weeks ago we had our second Linear Appraisal (LA) session as a herd and our first time having homebred animals appraised. We are thrilled with our scores!

One appraisal that really hit home for me was a very special doe we call Suzy. Suzy and her sister came to me together for $400 for the pair. Her sister was the first doe to kid here, and unfortunately we lost her after kidding due to some rookie mistakes.

Suzy has the strongest will to milk of any goat I’ve ever owned, and her daughters have inherited that same drive. Suzy appraised EEEE92 at 523 DIM! Her two-year-old daughter, Dreamies, appraised VEEE90, and her yearling first freshener daughter, Joyva, appraised VVVG86 at 7 months in milk.

I was also fortunate enough to purchase Suzy’s sire, CH DILL’S FITZ SHAGALICIOUS *B, who appraised VEE90.

Here are some highlights from our Linear Appraisal session. Scores and traits for all 50+ animals are now listed on our website.

Lucky to have a partner that loves the goats. It’s 40° out and instead of watching from the camera inside, he’s sitting with andi to make sure she’s comfortable with us when she kids ❤️ I’m away at a horse show. Lucky is an understatement!
