2023, another amazing NWODGA dairy goat show has officially wrapped up🥰🎉🎊
Every year the PRIDE in the quality & depth of the dairy herds & goats showing here just dazzles me! Honestly! There is nowhere except the ADGA National Show that you will see SO MANY past, present, & future Nationals Champions FROM NEARLY EVERY BREED in one spot!! It’s such an amazing place to be🤩 The quality here is just unmatched!
And my other favorite part is FAMILY❤️We have all grown into such a close family of showman. It doesn’t matter what breed you have, it doesn’t matter who you are, how much money you have, whether you own National Champions or are just getting started… We ALL showed our best & brightest selves this weekend, not just our goats, but ourselves! Everytime I turned around, someone was offering help, showing kindness, helping educate newcomers, help show goats with longtime breeders, jumping in to ring steward, offering to photograph, smiling & greeting others, sharing congratulations with fellow showman… NWODGA crew & show family shined her very best this weekend!! I can’t help but be a bit teary eyed & overwhelmed with pride knowing that our friend Chris Strickland would have been so proud❤️to see everyone shining their brightest!!
My sincerest thanks to every single exhibitor, to every NWODGA member & show helper, to our incredible judges, to every raffle ticket entry, for every sponsorship gifted, for every donation made, for every snack & side dish shared with friends, for your smiles & laughter! NWODGA *Is* YOU! and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!
Wishing you a wonderful show season, a fantastic local national show, and a blessed 2023😁
