County Fair 2009

I went to the fair somewhat bummed because my dairy goat Kimber didn't end up being pregnant and freshening, so I assumed she wouldn't do well. I even debated whether to bring her. But she shocked us all with being Grand Champion for her Nigerian class. Then she took Reserved Champion over all the other Champion dairy goats, and she didn't even have an udder!
The judge was very impressed with her. I can't wait until next year!
My boer goats did well also. Bebe got auctioned and took 3rd out of 27. Pollyanna and AnnaMae got a special award that this was the first year it was given. I ended up selling the two does to make room for a new Nigerian. I will miss them. Enjoy Bethany! I just pray that the Lord provides me with the perfect goat!


I also really enjoyed hanging with all my good friends. Thanks Gracie for all your help! You are an awesome person!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!

I finally found a job! I got a job as a dining aide at the Dallas Retirement Village. I will go in on Thursday and they will write a job offer up for me. I'm really excited that the Lord provided this job for me, I think I will really enjoy it. Its a major relief to have a job to pay for my animals. I really appreciate all the Lord is doing in my life.

I won $100 scholarship!

I won a $100 scholarship from the American Boer Goat Association. It will go to help pay for my meat goat project for 4H.


Thank you ABGA.

Matt and Libby's Wedding

Wow! They are married. Here is the only picture we have so far.

Stef did great at the Fair!!

Stef is on a Youth Group canoe trip and I thought I would post about how she did at fair this year. Both her and her goats did awesome! She was the Polk County Champion Showman for large animals .

Kimber her Nigerian Dwarf goat took Champion for her breed and then took Reserve Champion when competing against all Champions of the other different dairy breeds.


Above is Stef and AnnaMae being awarded Champion over all dry meat goat does. AnnaMae is only 12 weeks old and wanting to go back to her mom.

It's a Girl this time!

Mom went to the barn to check on the little buck only to find this cute little girl looking at her!!






Pollyanna kidded today and also had just a single but this one is a doe! She is very sweet and loves to snuggle.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a name for either of the goats?

He is so small. I think he looks smaller than my mini lop rabbit!



Here he is all dried off and fluffy.
