County Fair Time!

Busy, busy week. Emma's last county fair as a 4H-er. It's hard to believe the years and years of showing at the fair are almost over.
Emma has done very well. Her drawing got Grand Champion in Crafts and Fine Arts. She can't show it at the state fair because she will be back at school! Her lambs both got purple ribbons and 1st and 2nd in their weight class! - and 4th and 7th in the state fair line up. They were fantastic! Out of about 60 lambs I would guess. Very very competitive. This is only the second year Emma's done lambs too...

Ashley is next to her in yellow with Emma's second lamb. They are put in a class based on their weight and Emma's were only 2 pounds different. Obviously you can't hold two animals at the same time so another
4H-er is allowed to show one of the animals. Way to go Emma! Fantastic job!!!!
That was Wednesday night. Thursday night was Goats. Wish I could say the judge was ok but he was horrible. Not anything new in 4H. Sometimes I think they just put a warm body out there. Emma had the only Nubian Dairy goat.They put all the dry yearlings together and Maggie was 5th out of 6. The judge's reasons and the goats he put ahead of her made no sense whatsoever. Emma will be taking her to State Fair and I hope this judge is watching when "Maggie" does well there. Emma did get Grand Champion in Senior Showmanship. Great Job! She also won the Goat Interviews, Senior division!

More to come on the Meat goats. Tomorrow is the last how - Llama show at 9:00. So to bed!
