8/19/06 - Enough to Choke a Goat
ds20060819_0128aw Goat Judging.jpg

Des Moines, IA

Ooh, this is enough to make your buns bite the buttons of your seat cushion! These are the finalists for the "top goat" (or maybe "Best Bag & Udders") in the milk goat class at the Iowa State Fair. Boy, talk about chafing. I hope these gals are ready for milking; I don't want to think about these being post-milking. You should have heard the judge explain what he was looking for in a champion and how he judged the udders; he was positively rapsodic! I wonder if these babies ever sit down. Makes me think I'm providing relief to some poor she-goat every time I buy a wedge of goat gouda.

After this, we headed over to the bull judging. Guess what one of their primary criteria was.

And then there was the Fair food ...

oh, these poor goats. They'd better hurry with the judging so they can be milked.

Yup -- except it requires both hands!

Oh, yow! Dennis, any comment I can think to make just goes straight downhill after, 'oh yow'. Definitely voted. I wish I could vote more than once.
Okay, I have a question about the judging. I've shown my ridgeback, a male, and know that the judge tends to do a little reach around and 'cup' to just check him out back there. Do they, uh, do that with the goats?
