Who Is Going to Nationals?

We go every year regardless of location... if the goats look good. We will be in Louisville.

Sara

 

:/ I'm showing this year...under protest. Obies,Saanen & Toggs! I've been (watched) for about 4 yrs. now...didn't go to Wy. Too far to just watch.
Kaye

 

We are Sara's escort, so we will be leading her there. :biggrin I think it would take her forever if I didn't set the pace. :lol
Tim

 

Ha, ha Tim!

Just because I drive the speed limit when pulling a trailer! Shoot if I let Tim set the pace we'd be broke paying for speeding tickets and fuel and not to mention he would get his drivers license taken away because he got too many tickets. Or run us out of diesel... AGAIN! :laughcry

Yep, Tim, Mary and the girls will be once again escorting me to Nationals. Oh, the fun we have and the stories we could tell...

Sara

 

Terry and I are going to WATCH for the first time ever. I was going to take a few but I don't know I think I want to watch first get my feet wet later.

Autumn

 

OH boy you guys have fun wish I could go watch

 

:biggrin Lord KNOWS, Sara needs all the "guidance" she can get! Thanks, Tim & Mary! :rofl
Kaye

 

Autumn,

If you have a chance, show your girls! Everyone is very nice and it is actually more relaxed than a regular dairy show, because the show is spread out. Anyway, much more fun to show and be a part of it, IMO. (We did the same at Spokane in 2005-got a 2nd in her class, a 10th in her class (yearlings) and a 13th in her class (2 year old). ) Way cool being in the ring with the "big boys"!

Camille

 

We're going! We can only do exhibition with our Nigerians, but I think it'll be lots of fun. My son will do showmanship with a La Mancha....he was little disappointed that he can't do a Nigie in showmanship.

 

Uh, huh. You just tell yourself that. Relaxed at a National Show... I don't think so!

Sara

 

I'm going! but just to watch.. We had such a good time in Wy last year! and I get to drool over Sara's girls again :yes

 

I'm coming Thursday to watch junior LM that evening and then the senior LM the next morning. I would like to go to the wine and cheese event Friday night but I don't know yet. I wonder if you have to sign up for that? I have not really looked into that yet. Hope to meet some of you while I'm there.

 

:rofl By then??...I will have bypassed the wine for the "hard stuff"!
Kaye

 

Now Kaye...just remember what Jennifer told me in the show ring in LR. Candy is sweetier but liqour is Quicker. Oh the words I live by. I bring the bottle of the good stuff. Want to do one to one with me. I get ya relaxed and trust me you can sleep though BOS again. I dont mind

Ken in Mo

 

Yeah in reading that I just couldn't believe anything about the nationals is relaxed Esepcially in Nubians! Vicki

 

Kaye, by the time I get there you will be chilled. You have all your showing to do at the first of the week. Course if you win you may still be bouncing off the walls even when I get there :biggrin
Maybe you better bring something hard Ken. She may need some medicinal alcohol support before it's over with. :rofl

 

We are only going for the youth stuff. We found out how expensive it would be to get all of the goats tested and staying down there for the whole week. We planned on sleeping in the barns or putting up a tent...neither is allowed. :down Plus....I want our herd a bit more competitive before we jump into a National show! :crazy Maybe in 2010 when it is in Rochester, MN(right? I think that is were I heard/read it will be).

 

Not sure where you are getting your information. I am on the NS committee and I can tell you that sleeping in the barns IS allowed as it always has been.

Also, the 2010 NS is scheduled to be held in Rochester, Minnesota. However, with the downgrading of Minnesota's TB status that may change.

Sara

 

Oh, Sara...you know that "rumor" gets circulated every year. No sleeping in the barn...yeah, right! I don't see me hiring a security guard to watch my goats. Besides, they wouldn't do to suit me, anyway. :lol
A tent I can see being banned...lord, who wants to look down an aisle and see tent city? Not me and it certainly wouldn't be good PR for the public.

Ha,Ha,Ha,....only if it's sweet tea!!! I'm a 3 beer drunk! Drink 1/2 one, spill one, and take one home...SMASHED. And what goes on at Nationals...doesn't stay at Nationals! :rofl
