The trip to Crossville TN, went well for Queue,
after all she had her baby with her and all
the feed she could eat. We fitted her out,
but since her and Betsy were in the same class,
we could not decide who was going to take
who into the ring. Finaly it was decided that
I would take Betsy and Pat would take Queue,
after all Queue had been in the ring a couple
of times and knew what to do. We entered the
ring, but after only a few minutes, Pat and
I swapped goats, Queue heard Ollie and was
trying her best to get to him. I took Queue
and Pat took Betsy. The judge commented that
we had swapped. The swap didn't help Queue.
Betsy took second
in the 3 - 4 year old Senior Does and Queue
finished fourth in the Upper
Cumberland Goat Producers Association
Goat Day and Show, May 21, 2005. |
Queue made the trip to Cedar
Country Fall Classic, Open Boer Goat Show,
Nov. 6, 2004, and returned home with her second
first place ribbon.
|
When
we decided to show in Lewisburg at their 2nd
annual Goat Festival, we decided to show
five does. Our little Gidget, who we had showed
a couple of times, just had not filled out;
so we looked at the herd for a replacement.
In the afternoon, two days before the show,
we spotted Queue returning to the barn. I
looked a Pat and she looked at me, and we
decided to give Queue a shot.
|
We
gave her a bath which she didn't like at all
and dried her off (again she didn't like it
a bit). We gave her a manicure, shave and
food. She liked the food. We loaded her in
the trailer with the rest of our SHOW
STRING -
Venus,
Topaz, Tiffany,
and Ophelia.
|
We unloaded Queue from the trailer, and she
fought us all the way to the pens. Then, in
the pens, she keep beating up poor little
Tiffany and Ophelia every time they tried
to get to the food or water. Finally it was
her time to go to the ring. Tiffany Hallmark
took the lead and started toward the ring.
I guess Queue had been bored because she walked
toward the ring like a pro. Waiting in line
to go in she was a little testy, but as she
walked into the ring with Tiffany, Queue threw
her head back and walked into the ring as
if she had done it hundreds of times before.
With one look, the judge selected her from
the class of seven as number one, and spent
the rest of the time placing the other six.
After a few minutes, Queue apparently got
bored again and Tiffany had her hands full.
Queue became a little high strung while Tiffany
attempted to maintain control. As the first
place ribbon, check and jar of ChowChow was
being present, Tiffany was still having her
problems controlling Queue. But as Queue left
the show ring with Tiffany not far behind,
Tiffany's smile lit up the dreary afternoon.
Queue took First Place in the 24 to under
36 month Senior Fullblood/Purebred Does. Tiffany
had added a class championship in a 'Big'
Goat Show to her resume. |

Queue finished 2nd in both the TGPA Jackpot
Show and the 3rd Annual IBGA Show in Lewisburg,
TN.
