I'm back. The computer is alive. I did so awesome at the state fair. I swept the lamanchas. Turquoise went grand in the youth and the open show along with best of breed and best udder in the breed in both shows. Her sister Ruby went reserve in the youth show. Turtles daughter trinity went champion in the youth show and Xenia took grand champion junior doe in the open show. Tyler my GCH recorded grade doe went Best of Breed in the youth show and 3rd in the champion challenge class and 3rd best udder out of like 12 goats. 1st in lamancha dairy herd, grade dairy herd, sr get of sire. 2nd in my junior get all out of 3 different dams out of a yearling buck and I mean they were uniform the other goats were out of 4 or older bucks and those people had been breeding goats for at least 10 year I have been breeding for only 2. I got total 15 1st places, 11 2nd places, and 3- 3rd places with 11 goats in 2 different breeds. I also got premier exhibitor for lamanchas and grades it was close with the lamanchas for premier lamancha breeder. and to top it all off I have been accepted to like 3 colleges/universities

. I did the happy dance when the computer turned on and worked cause it was such a great weekend and a great way to end the show year. Turquoise also only needs one more leg to finish and she will be my 1st one to finish under my herd name. I can't wait till her daughter freshens(either late next year or in 2010) she is extremely promising she looks just like her dam. Sorry about all this but I am so happy right now

. Oh and also 3 people were there with 3 of my goats with my herd name 2 lamancha and one alpine this was the 1st year to actually sell does to anyone.
