Mason Dixon Fair 2013: Day 1

Yesterday was our first day at the Mason Dixon Fair, located just above the Maryland line in Delta, PA.  The goats that we took with us were mostly cooperative getting into the trailer and luckily it's only about 15 minutes from our house.  Unfortunately, we picked the exact time of the afternoon that it decided to rain in which to drive over and unload.  Extra bath for the goats I guess! 

Last night Colleen showed 2 does in the breeding classes. Our younger doe, "Fluffball," placed 8 out of 8:

 



The 2-year old doe, "Snowflake," placed 3rd out of 6!  Both of these goats gave Colleen a hard time, as they did not settle in too well at first.

After they were done showing, and people were coming around to look at them, they would let everyone pet them but us. I guess they were afraid we were going to make them walk around that ring and get felt by the judge again!

The angora girls on the other hand, settled right in. Their pen is right next to the tack pen, and they have already tried to help themselves to some of the people snacks stored next door. We also have our hay in there, and Midnight has figured out that she can stick her head through the bars and eat as much as she wants!
