While I wait to get to Wal-mart so that I can develop my film (I can't believe I just said that!!) and while I wait for some friends to send me the pictures they took of me, since a sibling ran off with my camera half way through the show. I thought I would show you this video.
Though, some of the facts may not be true concerning goats, (Such as the reason our goat numbers were down). It may be true about the rest of the animal numbers for the Livestock Show, I can not say. The reason I am putting this here is because I am in it. lol Not for long, but I still made it on the news. :D
What we are doing in this video is trimming our goats for the show. This way the judge can see the goat and nothing else, thus giving you a true view of the goat. And the judge can then tell weather the goat really has a good body and capacity.
It's a very messy job and time consuming. And most times you want it done a week or two before the show, depending on the color of the animal. Sometimes the show sneaks up on you and you don't get the animal completely done or as nicely as you would want it to be and sometimes you just don't get it done at all. :- S
I was not showing any of our animals, due to the fact that the deadline sneaked up on us, what with the dairy and all that has happened more then once in the past 6 months. But as you probably have already seen, I am trimming goats in this video. :D Who can pass up the chance of money? Even if you have to work hard for it and you do get dirty doing it? Well, I couldn't, I needed the money (rather wanted it). Plus, it was great to know that a goat breeder who has been in goats for years trusted me to do a good job trimming her animals for her. And I was glad to know I could help instead of just sitting there reading books. :)
Enjoy the thirty second video!
