Little bit late but this last weekend concluded the 2025 showing season. We made the trip down to the Memory Lane Show in Chillicothe, MO. What a great show. Definitely a new favorite. Hope to be back there in 2026.

Saturday the girls looked good but didn’t bring home any accolades. Sunday was a little different. 4yr old Misfit Manor Disaronno was reserve grand champion and 3yr old CH Misfit Manor Erin Go Bragh was best in breed. Interesting for us showing as it was the first time we went to a show without any of our children.

Now to settle down and figure out breeding season.

Well, the 2025 Autumn Romance Buck Show in Sedalia, MO has come to an end. It was a very bittersweet event. As always, it was a great show with great people.

This year was a little different. We put *B CH Misfit Manor Chunky Monkey in the auction. He had worked himself out of a job at our farm. It was very tough since he was born and raised on our farm. He was Taryn's buck. Definitely part of the family. As always, he didn't disappoint in the show ring. He went best of breed in rings 1 through 3. On day two, he went best in breed in rings 4 through 6 for his new owners.

It was great to show off the Guernsey goats. So close to being official, we needed two more. The eight goats that were there didn't disappoint in quality. We had a good show with ours. Nugget had three grands, 1 reserve. Vector had two grands, and Linden had one grand, 1 reserve. Helix 1 reserve. Maybe next year we can be official.

2025 Linear Appraisal

For those that aren’t familiar with Linear Appraisal, it is one of ADGA’s performance programs. The intent is to evaluate the conformation of the dairy goats to a set of established guidelines. With every LA, we get a better understanding of how our breeding choices have gone.

Yesterday was our LA visit for 2025. Very excited about our results.

Day 2 at the Iowa State Fair was good! CH Misfit Manor Erin Go Bragh was chosen as the Senior Lamancha Best of Breed putting her into the BOS lineup. But let’s be real…it’s rare for a Lamancha to be picked as BOS over a Saanen or Alpine. That held true as the Saanen was picked as BOS. Congratulations to them!

2025 ADGA National Dairy Goat Show is in the books! We took 10 goats with hopes of them making the top 20 cut, four did.

Our Nationals experience started well with Taryn placing 9th in Senior Showmanship. She has never made the cut so this placing was exciting as Taryn ages out of youth events this year.

Junior Lamancha’s followed showmanship Sunday evening with Misfit Manor Hennessy (Senior Kid) placing 16th in a class of 36 goats.

Senior Lamancha’s showed Monday morning. Misfit Manor Erin Go Bragh (3 yr) place 16th out of 40 and Misfit Manor Disaronno (4 yr) placed 15th out of 24. We were very pleased that our goats made the cut!

Recorded Grade Juniors was our last hurrah. Misfit Manor Himalaya, although small compared to most in her class of Intermediate Kids, placed 18th out of 20.

We always attend a National show with the thought we just want our goats to make the cut and be in the top 20. We accomplished that goal with four of our goats this year making it a successful trip.
