Summer 2023
V-show photos the past few years haven't been ideal, but better than nothing! In spite of this year having goats clipped to a fence for photos instead of being set up properly, I am pretty happy with some of our placings against the very stiff competition! The classes are growing like crazy and I'm so thrilled to see the incredible improvements in the quality of the MiniNubians out there.
Most exciting placings were for Blizzard as she took 1st, best udder in her class and Reserve CHAMPION and BEST UDDER OF BREED in ring two. She was 5th place in the other ring. There were 18 does in her class.
Jr doe entry was Sylvie who took 6th in both rings (10 in her class)
Dry yearlings we had two entries in a HUGE class of 39: Star took 11th and 19th. Mississippi took 6th and 32nd (crazy!)
Our Jr. buck entry, Showman, took 1st and 8th of 10.
Yearling buck, Flame, took 6th & 13th in a huge class of 24 (his full brother was 4th and 6th)
2yr old milkers (class of 25) - Manna 5th and 8th
3yr old milkers (class of 18) Blizzard 1st (going on to Rsch and BUB) and 5th. Penny 10th and 12th
4yr old milkers (class of 11) Angel 1st place and best udder in both rings. Jane was 2nd and 3rd in her respective rings.

Summer 2014 - We only entered 3 goats to the MDGA Summer v-show, but did shockingly well! Moonbeam finished his virtual championship by taking GCh in both rings. He deserves it! The other two entries did extremely well also with both jr animals taking GCH in one ring. Ashley took GCH Jr doe and Comet (a Moonbeam son) took GCH Jr. Buck! The Reserve to Moonbeam in Ring 2 was a buck out of a Green Gables doe and a Green Gables buck. The Reserve Sr. Doe in Ring 1 is a Green Gables granddaughter.
Fall 2013 - We did quite well in the Fall V-show despite not clipping anyone. Beloved Freedom finished his championship and Beauty earned her dry leg. Several of our 'grandkids' did quite well in the show with Buckhorn Run Dapper Dan taking GCH MiniNubian buck in one ring. Dapper Dan is out of Green Gables B Serenade and Green Gables Sampson. Congrats to Barb Knapp for owning and breeding such a nice boy. You can take a look at the show here to see more Green Gables placings and the judges reasons behind the placings.
