Thank you Yellow Rose Farm and Georgia National Fair for organizing such a fantastic Dairy goat show! The air-conditioned show Barn was such a treat and the courtesy carts were really on the ball! Despite large classes and a long day, Judge Justin Bassett didn't even slow down in his thoroughness and his patience with all the youth in the ring! Photo dump coming soon!

Georgia National Fair, here we come!

We are hitting the road with our goats and our amazing Get Goating youth! These kids have spent months working hard, practicing their showmanship, learning about their goats, and getting ready for their moment in the ring.

We couldn't be prouder of the dedication, determination, and heart they've put into this. No matter where they place, they've already accomplished so much, and we can't wait to watch them shine!

Here's to great memories, good sportsmanship, a little friendly competition, and a few ribbons along the way!

Thank you to our sponsors and supporters for helping to make this season happen!

Show season is here, and we’re raising funds to support the youth in our Get Goating Dairy Goat Project. Every little bit helps!
Most of you already know what we do, but in short, our youth learn real, hands-on skills with dairy goats: feeding, grooming, milking, hoof trimming, health checks, showmanship, anatomy, and the day-to-day responsibility that comes with caring for livestock. For many of them, the show ring is where all of that work comes together.
We currently have 22 youth enrolled, with 18 heading to fall shows. We work hard to keep participation affordable, including offering on-farm goat leases so a young person does not have to own a goat to take part.
Donations help cover feed, hay, medications, veterinary care, required health certificates, fair entry fees, show supplies, and educational materials.
You can support the program several ways:

Text GHFYOUTH to 44-321
Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal: goathousefarm
You can also contribute directly toward feed through Country Feed on Cash App at $h20feed. Please be sure to put Goat House Farm in the notes field so they know where to apply it.
We also welcome in-kind donations of feed, hay, bedding, grooming supplies, show leads and collars, hoof-care supplies, first-aid items, printing services, and other livestock or show supplies.
Every donation helps us give more kids the chance to learn, work hard, build confidence, and get into the show ring with a goat they have spent real time caring for. Thank you for helping us keep that opportunity open.

Oh we definitely stink! But I am so excited for a Red x Angel baby! Or three!

We are stinky. We are dirty. Some very exciting breedings were completed today at Goat House Farm Inc. And we got to chat to some wonderful Florida A&M University Ag students who wanted us to tell them all about dairy goats, show, production, and conformation, and you know we love to talk GOATS!

But the best part of today was Red having to make sure Melissa was proud of him between does. 🤣 I’ve never seen a goat do such a thing. Good job, buddy. We’re all very proud of you.

I somehow just learned the story of the Chicago Cubs’ billy goat curse, and I cannot believe I did not know this before.

In 1945, with the Cubs in the World Series, tavern owner William Sianis showed up at Wrigley Field with two tickets, one for himself and one for his pet goat, Murphy. They were let in, but after fans started complaining about the goat’s smell, team owner P.K. Wrigley had them thrown out.

Sianis was furious and supposedly declared, “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more.”

The Cubs went on to lose that World Series, and for the next 71 years the “Curse of the Billy Goat” became part of baseball legend. All the heartbreak, all the weird collapses, all the near misses. Then finally, in 2016, the Cubs won it all and broke the curse.

As a goat person, I feel like this is the kind of sports history I really should have known already. Did you know this story?
