The results are online now here:

We had a small technical hitch that meant the incorrect result was showing for a few hours, so apologies to anyone who saw those.

We'll announce the results formally today, be in touch with the prize winners and do a bit of improvement work on the system.  :)

Re. Goat Show, I agree with Plum's - Classes for Best Wether, Doe, Buck, and kid… and maybe a class for 'goat most like it's owner' !  :o

Okay, just so I get the terminology right, we'll have:
  • Best Wether
  • Best Doe (not Nanny?)
  • Best Buck (not Billy?)
  • Best Kid
  • Goat most like its owner
It's scheduled to start tomorrow (Saturday).  :)

When I was a Kid ;D adult female goats were 'Nannies' - adult entire male goats were known as 'Billies'.
I think it's a fashion thing, most people seem to call them Does and Bucks nowadays, or maybe it's a regional thing like cade/sock/caddy lambs ?  :-\
