We’ve been busy around here getting ready for the goat show — clipping coats, trimming hooves, and of course still keeping up with twice-a-day milking. 🐐✨
After all the prep, we finally loaded up and headed to the Cowichan Exhibition Fair ().
Show day was yesterday. It was a long (and very full!) day- there were 141 goats entered- but such an awesome experience. We always learn so much about our own goats, and they always throw in some spunky antics- and it was so fun to be part of it. Our kids had fun taking part in junior showmanship and also helping us get our goats ready and show them. The best part? Our Nigerian Dwarfs did amazing — bringing home lots of ribbons for our little herd! 🎉💚 - (see highlights below).
Feeling proud, grateful, and already looking forward to the next one. Which happens to be next weekend! We will be at the VIEX next weekend, and the goat show is on Saturday.
