Star Milker
I'm sure most of you are getting tired of me going on and on about Cora Belle. Cora Belle this Cora Belle that. Blah Blah Blah.
But I am very proud of my locally grown girl. After a year of hard work, mostly on Cora Belle's part, she not only earned her championship in the show ring, she has also earned herself a star as a milker. She may have even made it into the top ten milkers in her breed if it hadn't been for the stress of showing and a few vacations on my part....oh and I dried her up too early. Her numbers are that good.
So I would like to thank Herron Hill Dairy for allowing me to buy Cora Belle when they didn't want to sell her. I would like to thank the farmer at Herron Hill for mentoring me through the process of rediscovering goat shows and pushing me to put CB on milk test. When she didn't know something she found someone who did.
I would like to thank Cathy Reaney for taking on the task of being my milk tester and doing it so well.
I would like to thank my family who put up with me saying, "I have to get home and milk the goat" or "I can't go because I don't have anyone to milk the goat."
I'm afraid there is more of that to come.
Mostly I'd like to thank Cora Belle for coming into my life when this empty nester needed something to do and something new to think about. You saved my mind.
So ladies and gentlemen, I give you GCH Herron Hill CJ Cora Belle.
Blah Blah Blah Blah.

WhooooHooooo Congrats! There was a lot of hard work on both your parts! You deserve every glorious moment (and I never get tired of hearing about Cora Belle!).
Cora Belle, My favorite goat on the internet!
That G just looks so much better.
She is a truly lovely goat - and this is from a person who doesn't go one way or another on goats.
Go on, proud mama, strut yer stuff.
You're totally allowed!!
Never too much about you goats. They are beautiful!
She's a beautiful girl!
