Rolling Thunder Ranch

We spent the weekend in Cookeville, Tennessee at the Southern Belle Showdown, hosted in the beautiful historic Cattle Barn at the Putnam County Fairgrounds. We love this show and were glad to make it this year! We brought four milking does and four junior does (three of them were very young!) and they did not disappoint. This is a very large, competitive show (300+ goats) and we did not go into it with any expectations other than the girls’ excitement for showmanship and a two ring youth show. We uddered up our girls for Friday night thinking they would not be as competitive in the open ring with such thick competition. We weren’t even sure they would fill their udders two days in a row. But….our girls really made us proud!
