Mesa County Fair was a lot of fun this year,
especially the Adult Class! (Read more about that below.)
Let’s start with some pictures of the 4-H and FFA kids showing their goats along with some pictures of them with their ribbons.
Benjamin & Max showing their goats.
Look at the concentration!

The competition was stiff this year. Some classes had up to 12 competitors, and everyone was commenting on how the quality had really improved over what it was last year.

Judah with Statler.

Everyone did great with their goats and they all looked fantastic.
Now for the Adult Showmanship Class!
Quite a few adults entered the ring with some goats to show. There were quite a few of them that did a good job.
Hailey was out there and it was great to see her showing a goat again. Hailey is in college now at CMU but you can see she hasn’t forgotten how to show a goat! You GO GIRL!

And here comes Jake!
Hey Jake—seems you could have found just a little smaller goat than the one you have there! Good thing you can bend!
Jake showing Bamboo.
Man Jake is going to end up with a super back ache after this show—but look at the effort he is putting into showing that little Bamboo!
Man he is REALLY working it!
Great job Jake. We were rooting for you and for Hailey, but unfortunately the judge copped out and gave “everyone” third-place ribbons. Darn the bad luck anyway. 
At least here on Swan View Ranch we can highlight the stars. (grin)
Congratulations to all of the 4-H and FFA kids on the great job they did with their goats. They all looked healthy and happy and we loved seeing how they had grown under your care.
We look forward to seeing all of you next year!
