A great time was had by all at the Belmont fair!! James and Hope showed the Grand and Reserve champion dairy goats, Ella won the 9-12 year old showmanship with Faith right on her heels, and the younger 3 managed to hold on to thier goats in the ring!!! Thank you to Thomas Fencing for buying James's cheese basket and to all the volunteers for putting on another great fair!

On the ride home the kids were saying how it would be so nice not to practice showmanship every night and they must have forgot because Ella was judging a class before night chores were done!!

What do I love most about late night goat checks? Sure, they're inconvenient. But the whole world is quiet except for the gentle hum of the radio in the barn, there's a million stars in the sky. And this time of year, we have extra puppy love. Can't believe this little guy is still left. And of course, the baby goats. First set of Savannah kids for the year. And she had triplets, what a wonderful mom she's being.
