Proud Moment

Yesterday at the fair Abby showed one of our baby goats in the open class. She was supposed to be in the unusual pet show but they put her in with the other goats. That was all good except the other goats were meat goats and Abby's was a 6 week old fainter. Needless to say there was a bit of a size difference. She did great!

Bentley showed in showmanship yesterday. He did a super job. Lenn and I were so proud of him. He was the grand champion junior showman. I was so excited for him that I could hardly go to sleep last night. Right before he went into the ring I told him the better he did the more premium money he would get. Well I lied to him, not meaning to of course, but here they gave a blue ribbon and a bucket for the grand showman. (Oops!) It made him smile at the judge anyway, right??

Today was the market classes. Bentley took third in his class, which was great. While he was showing he was in the first place position for a bit, then to second and at the last minute she switched him to third. I think the judge took the longest on that class deciding which one was better. We were actually shocked at how well Wilma did, because in July she decided to become anorexic for most of the month. We thought she would be a lot further behind the other lambs.

Bentley did great for his first year!
