Vera is a very promising young doe. She recently scored a GGAG 83 at linear appraisal. She’s very well behaved on the milk stand and in the show ring. She can be exposed to my buck before leaving.

SOLD
ADGA Registered 3yr old doe

AW Acres CG My Lover

This isn’t an easy doe for me to post, but with college back in session and my courses getting tougher I need to lighten my load before next spring. Lover is a very sweet doe with solid genetics, a nice mammary system, and a will to milk. She’s has been shown before and has one RGCH from the 2025 Quad State Classic as well as being part of the 1st place Dam and Daughter at the 2024 & 2025 Iowa state fair. She is right at 22 1/2” so she pushes the stick but has never been turned away from a ring. Can be exposed to my buck before leaving.

The goats and I made it back last night from a very long but very exciting week at the ADGA Nationals in Grand Island, NE! I brought 6 does along with me to show in some extremely competitive Nigerian Dwarf classes. The week started with volunteering for vet check where I got to see some beautiful animals up close and meet dairy goat people from all across the country. Saturday afternoon I competed in the judging and management contest and placed 3rd in Senior Dairy Goat Management! Senior showmanship didn’t go exactly as I had hoped but I still placed 14th in a competitive class of 30+ showmen. I also got to compete in the fitting contest and represent the Iowa Dairy Goat Association alongside fellow former and current IDGA Youth Ambassadors!

The Nigerian Dwarf show was Monday and Tuesday. My juniors didn’t make the cut but I’m still so proud of how they looked and behaved in the ring! Tuesday was the senior show, I came in with pretty low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. CH(pending) Two Dogs Farm KSR Twister made the cut and placed 19th in the 3yr old class out of 70+ animals! Twister is a beautiful doe and I feel so blessed to have her in my herd.

It’s a pretty well-known fact that the dairy goat community is unlike any other, the camaraderie and support are truly unmatched. The people in Grand Island proved that to be true. The week may have been long and tiring, but spending it with hundreds of others who share the same love for dairy goats was something special.

Congratulations to everyone that had a successful week in Grand Island! Hope to see you all in Massachusetts in 2026!
