The Tregaron Goat Show went very well with 35 goats entered, 16 of which were milkers. The competition was very high so it was quite suprising that we came away with anything!! The best bit for me was that our eight year old 1st kidder who we rescued last year along with her sister, won Best British Alpine against our own 4 year old milker & also Best Veteran which we were really pleased with as we have worked hard to get her back to health. Mabel or rather Garlin Efa,as she is registered as, is a really lovely girl; it was her first show & she behaved impeccably. Her kid was 1st in her class with some good comments from the judge; our other Alpine won a rossette for the highest yeild milking through. We enjoyed the show which is the main thing.
Madelaine, the pygmy nannie is due to kid any day; not quite sure of the date as we just had to leave Dexter the billy with her....he was having a problem with reaching as he was only 7mths old at the time!Really looking forward to the kids being born; hope she has nannies.
Looking forward now to getting the goats in season early if possible so that we can have better grown kids for next years shows. We do need to find an Alpine billy at stud to go across Bramwell as we only have her dad at present.
This is Mabel with her sister Dilys ( Garlin Eurem) in the background.
