Tallulah was scratched, and everyone else moved up a placing from Ring 1 as a result.
We had lots of help showing, and I appreciate all the help as we handed off goats to hold or to show. My fabulous husband and our amazing daughter, Rachel Rutledge, helped from loading the trailer on Friday to unloading it back at home on Saturday night. They were invaluable at making it a fun, relaxed showing experience! It’s always wonderful to show with my goat partner, Jessica Stoker Weeks, and we had a great time spending the day together. We even remembered to take pictures before milking out!
Thank you to the show committee for all your hard work to make this show possible. It’s a pleasure to get such concise, genuine, friendly, informative feedback from judges, and both of these judges did just that.
