TIMES—ADVOCATE
Huron County's Goat Club
HURON COUNTY — This
year the Huron County
Goat Club had only six
members but we still
managed to have an
interesting year. In May,
four members travelled
to Beamsville to a goat
symposium with one of
our members Raina
Vingerhoeds winning top
show person and the four
Katie and Becky Brady
and Leah and Raina
Vingerhoeds were the
whiners in the Go for the
Gold competition.
As Zurich Fair is the
Achievement Day for the
club, everyone turned
out for a busy day. While
preparing a float for the
fair an ewe and a lamb
from the animal display
bolted off towards the
lagoon. The float was
scrapped for a round -up
of the escapees. With
everyone's help, the pair
were tackled and
returned to the display.
After that adventure, the
4-H ers changed to their
white clothes and pro-
ceeded under the eye of
our judge Robert Stokes.
In the conformation
class, Leah Vingerhoeds
had the best kid followed
by Maggie Ainslie and
Viktor Coletta. Raina
Vingerhoeds got first
place for her Boer goat,
with Katie and Becky
Brady in 2nd and 3rd. In
showmanship, Raina
won first followed by
Katie, Maggie, Leah,
Becky and Viktor.
Goats being such agile
creatures, we added a
new class which included
an obstacle course for
which every member
brought some contrap-
tion. Speeding through
the course was Katie
with Maggie 2nd and
Leah 3rd.
In September, the club
attended the Seaforth
Fair with Kathy Steele as
judge. In Conformation
the yearling class was
won by Katie and Becky
was second. Raina had
the best Boer goat and in
the kid class, Leah was
first followed by Maggie
and Viktor.
When all the goats
competed for the best
goat of the day, Leah's
goat was the winner. In
the showmanship class,
everyone did a super job.
Raina and Leah
Vingerhoeds were in the
first group, Katie Brady
and Maggie Ainslie in the
second group followed by
Becky Brady and Viktor
Coletta. Raina went on to
compete for best show
person of the day show-
ing sheep, dairy and beef
cattle and pigs and
received the Reserve
Champion Showperson
award.
Once again we had an
obstacle course with two
tries. The winners were
as follows. Viktor, Katie
and Raina 2nd attempt -
Maggie, Viktor and Katie.
