It’s been an exciting time lately.  I have of course been sick with morning sickness, thus laying low.

Last Thursday Dominic took his goats to the 4H show and he and Elizabeth did quite well.

Elizabeth took Grand Champion LaMancha, Grand Champion Recorded Grade and Over All Grand Champion

Dominic took Reserve to her lol.  However, he took Grand Champion in Showmanship.

Then it was off to the ADGA show in Springfield.  What an exciting and fun time!  No Grand Champions for us as this show is really big and sports some of the best LaMancha’s in the nation!

Still our Bridget took second three times in her age class, and I believe someone who could show her to her full potential may have got her a first place once, as the judge had me and her in first but bumped us back one.  So not bad for our first time out!  Poor Gracie finished dead last twice, but the second day she did much better placing in the middle of the class.

We learned a lot and had a great time.  We will be going to the State Fair in Sedalia and I am hopeful for some ribbons at that fair where the competition may not be quite as steep…Plus we will be able to take our three little doe kids that couldn’t go this time due to sore mouth.  I really believe they would have made a strong showing this weekend if they could have went.  Of course you never know, but I am looking forward to the state fair with great anticipation.  There is a 4H show, which they should do well in, and then an ADGA show as well as an AGS show.  So lots of chances to show and learn more.

About the marshmallow pies.  I have a problem with them you see -

I can’t stop eating them!

I only buy one box a week, and Ju Ju and William eat some too!  I am enjoying these SO much though!  They taste so good! MMMMMM!

Yes goats and sheep like them too.
