Southern Kid and Goatling Show

Submitted by craige on Sun, 21/03/2010 - 16:51

Today was the Dairy Goat Society of Australia Tasmanian Branch Southern Kid and Goatling Show at the Royal Hobart Showgrounds. We only took along Jesse-Belle and Basil to this show, making for a light goat handling day :)

Jesse-Belle brought home:

  • 1st Place, Toggenburg Goatling 12-24 months un-kidded
  • Reserve Champion, Junior Doe

This was Jesse-Belle's second show and the second time she has brought home both 1st place in the Toggenburgs and Reserve Champion. We're happy with her showings so far and hopefully she'll continue her run as she matures.

Basil is only three months old and this was his first show. Basil managed to snag:

  • 3rd Place, Buck Kid under 6 months, any breed

The judge had some fine words regarding Basil, particularly as he was half the age of the other buck kids. We're fairly excited about this little Australian Brown's future.
