Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Bruce]

Sounds wierd. If the goat naturally has a beard, what sort of "anorexic model" judging are they doing? Maybe the female goats should have udder implants too, so they look "better".

You can tell I know nothing about goat judging!

Is the beard issue a standard at most shows? We have been to several but I can't recall whether or not any of the goats had beards.

And I don't know any more about goat judging than Bruce does.

we aren't sure- we were told the beard wasn't allowed with Danish judging

The judging sounds very subjective. Not that I know anything about any of it.
I would think they would go on breed standards though...and if a beard is standard it should be not only allowed but looked for.
Blah, sorry they didn't place better, but glad you had fun.
The most important thing is that the goats are healthy and happy and your family loves them.

As the title says- living up to our name.....on Friday we received an email from one of our 4-H families- someone they knew had to move due to the place they were renting being sold and they needed to find a home for their goat !

So meet Amelia- she's a 2 year old Nubian mix- our newest member of the herd once she is out of quarantine: she is pretty much on the move all the time given the newness to her.

I've never heard of Danish judging.
But, we cut our does beards off as a normal part of their clip.
The bucks, we clip everything but leave along flowing manly beard.

according to what I know about Danish judging, its based on the number of entries in a class as to the number of blues, reds, whites and pink ribbons that can be handed out....

Amelia looks like a nice goat, good price as well

we just hope she can fit in with the rest of the does
