TMGR sponsored two Mini Dairy Goat Shows at the recent Mini-Mania event on July 14th in Norco, CA. Exhibitors of many minis made a showing at this weekend long event which included shows for pygmies, nigerian dwarfs and the mini-dairy goats. There was also an exhibition of the mini-silkie fainting goats!
The days included a special guest speaker, Lorrie Boldrick, DVM along with a Goat Agility course that anyone could participate in as time allowed throughout the day. The Tri-tip BBQ was an excellent source of dining cuisine for our lunch break as Dr. Boldrick explained the structure and components of the goat. There was a question/answer session and we were so fortunate to have her present the information at our show.
Judges Dotty Clark and Rusty Repp kept things moving on Sunday and the exhibitors appreciated the upbeat atmosphere and camaraderie among the breeders and show personnel. MJ Midstokke really helped encourage folks to support the silent auction and raffle, and overall, the general consensus was "we need to do this again!" So stay tuned and we will post the next dates for Mini-Mania 2014 when they are available.
