Yesterday was another busy day with the broiler and goat show!
4 Palmer students competed in the goat show and all did well getting their animals set and shown for the judge.
Although only 1 student stuck a sale spot, all 4 did amazingly well, especially since it was 3 out of 4 of their first county showing goats!
Congrats to Reese Wright on placing 3rd and getting a sale spot!
