We've enjoyed showing our goats at the Shows, however, we've been having the best time with the other goat breeders especially the Nigerian -breeder folks. Most everyone else is much more experienced than us too, so we've been learning a lot.

Because we have Nigerians, that's the breed I'm photographing but the other dairy breeds are represented at the Dairy Shows too.

I'm glad that you're having a good time at the shows, Joanna. That is exactly the right attitude to have, whatever you're showing. Some people get so cutthroat competitive when they show that you wonder what enjoyment they get out of it.
It looks like a wonderful time! Congratulations on your boys. Poor Mike - giggle - did he get mad at you for his rear end photo? Seriously, it's really great to see you enjoy these things together!!

It looks like fun! So many beautiful goats! It would make me want to come home and buy more goats.....
What gorgeous goats! I especially like Merry Mary! Looks like fun!
I love the three generation picture, what handsome fellows....great genes.
Looks like you had a great time.
As we have received two new goat on the Sanctuary farm I am really getting to know goats and what beautiful animals they really are. They have such smart looking eyes. Very very cute.
We are in awe of these amazing little animals. Would love to import them into Oz.

Congrats to Beaux--he's sure got some good bloodlines, huh? How did Tootle Lu do?
I need to do a little research to learn what to look for in a dairy goat. I'm always looking at their colors to decide which ones I like best! Somehow, I think that's not what you all are focusing on, lol!
Hey what about the Alpine and Nubian breeders - aren't we any fun or good company? BTW - Alpines come in two flavors American or French (French Alpines are also know as Purebreds).
Ya'll look to be having great fun and success at the shows. Congrats.

This is so interesting to me, and I know NOTHING about goats! I would love to attend a show sometime just to see the different kinds and how they are judged. Maybe in the Fall you can let me know where the shows are?
