Well we have started 2019 show season in Elkhorn, WI against some very nice nigerians. We got some firsts,seconds, and thirds. We also ended up with a Reserve Grand Champion Jr doe with Jayedynn's doe Parrish Farms L Fine Adylynn, which was stated by the judge she is the "cats Meow"..... Also another Reserve Champion with CH/MCH Parrish Farms ABA Pappy Snap*B*S EEE FS91. It was just a nice time getting out for the first show of the season with friends.
😍Parrish Farms took a small break from showing this year 2018 until recently and we attended the Mississippi Valley Fair. It is always a great show with many friends and awesome people. there we took Grand and Res Grand Sr doe, as well as Grand and Res Grand jr doe, then on to win Best JR doe in Show with Parrish Farms LEG DeeDee- jr kid on 8/4/18.
:) Labor day weekend Pappy and Lucifer both did really well at the Sedalia buck show
😊😊Then we attended the Caledonia Minnesota show 9/15/18. we really were so blessed to have won and placed with all our does for all cuts in all classes in all 4 rings, against some amazing nigerians. PARRISH FARMS SP PEEPS-LATTE won Grand Champion Jr doe under Todd Biddle, and she also won Res Grand Champion jr doe under Jay Rudolph. PARRISH FARMS OR CHIPS AHOY won Res Grand Champion Jr doe under Tom Considine. BUT our biggest thrill was, PARRISH FARMS PC PUMA winning GrandChampion Jr doe and Best Jr Doe in Show, under Erin Griner!! these were huge wins for us as the competition is amazing in MN. we are blessed to have these winners and placings

The Goat Herder's Prayer
This night, the feedin' all now done, I bow my head in Prayer,
And Thank you, God, with my whole heart, for always being there.
I remember this morning, as the sun first broke, when I called in the herd,
How precious it was to hear YOUR voice ...
like my goats listening for MY word.
They ran from scattered all about, excited just to see me,
Me standing there beside the barn with buckets of feed.
I know they place their trust in me, to meet their needs and care.
This 'ol barn would be an empty shell were I not waiting for them there.
Ain't that how it is with us, God? Like between them goats and me?
Life's journey would be so empty, IF YOU weren't there with me.
So I thank You, Lord, for every goat that you've placed in my care,
And for every lesson that I've learned in this journey that we share.
For the miracle of life ... and ... of sacrifice that some are called to serve
For we are all your creatures ... together here,
And You ... The Master Shepherd.
