Last weekend we had fun at the ODGA Buckeye Classic- we did not attend the junior show Saturday but we did bring 3 milkers on Sunday. Cammile finished 2nd and 3rd.
Emilene was 1st place 2 y/o and 1st place Toggenburg in state in the ODGA Futurity class, where goats are nominated as kids and compete as 2 y/o in the show ring at the Buckeye Classic.
Elina, queen of the barn, finished her permanent championship by going GCH in both rings, and Best of Breed in Ring 2. I guess we need to tolerate her pigheadedness a bit longer now so she can make more beautiful babies for us!
As promised here are pics of Mallory and Echo.
Lastly, a pic of Samantha, the corn snake, who will soon become the mom of 14. Good news is, no one was bitten while gathering her eggs. They are being safely incubated at Findley State Park in the nature center where they will be raised then sold.
Here is our 'oops' araucana white tufted layer, Francine. She stands our amongst her pals, Alice, Gladys and Tilly. No eggs yet, Rog said we have a few weeks to go and they will start laying when their legs lighten up. . .
Love the pics of the nature farm! The hens and goats are just beautiful! Love Francine! The corn snake is interesting and especially the eggs.
ReplyDeleteEwwww..the snake I mean..the goats are really pretty. Does this snake help the environment? Is that why their eggs are so important? It would take the threat of nuclear war for me to try and grab that snake's eggs..glad no one was bit!
