Here I go again. \u00a0Oh, that is a great song and a great video.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lora Riley–Some of you may not remember the Riley sisters showing goats. \u00a0But for a 5 or 6 year period, they were a beast to try to beat. \u00a0And not just goat showing, those girls were good at everything. \u00a0Lora showed 2 Bronze wethers at OYE, a Res. grand at OYE, a Reserve grand at Tulsa, a reserve grand at State Fair and a pile of division and class winners at majors including Kansas City. \u00a0I honestly don’t remember if she won 4 or 5 district shows. \u00a0I vividly remember the great one that weighed out at OYE. \u00a0When the Riley’s were done, they were done. \u00a0Those girls went on to focus on athletics and did well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chance Greenroyd–If you want a history lesson in Oklahoma show goats, study his career. \u00a0LOTS of class winners and reserve divisions at state fair, Tulsa and OYE. \u00a0Consistent premium sale maker for years. \u00a0Hall of fame career AND then 2009 started–reserved grand at OYE, then grand at state fair, then grand at Tulsa and then grand at OYE 2010. \u00a0one of the best years of showing goats. \u00a0Chance had the single most dominant day of showing goats–Tulsa 2009–he won division 4, 5 & 6. \u00a0The judge had one decision–which goat of Chance’s was he going to use. \u00a0He comes from an ultra-competitive, multi-species stock show family but he put his mark in the goat ring. \u00a0He was one of the very best ever at showing each & every goat, exactly how that individual goat needed shown. \u00a0Throw in some Denver and Kansas City banners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tyler Boles–a grand and a reserve grand at OYE start a helluva resume. \u00a0Now, throw in possibly the most jackpot wins in OK history. \u00a0He showed every weekend and was always in the hunt at every show. \u00a0Lots of premium sale slots. \u00a0Wicked showman. \u00a0Yeah, he’s still at this goat game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Halie Schovanec–the most natural goat showman that I have ever witnessed–anywhere. \u00a0Does or wethers–doesn’t matter. \u00a0A grand wether at Tulsa, two Reserve grand wethers at OYE, three grand wethers at Enid District and a pile of premium sale wethers. \u00a0Oh, now, throw in a grand doe at Tulsa. \u00a0Was never afraid to bark orders at TravASS, Braden or myself. \u00a0She knew what they needed to look like.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Braden Schovanec–diverse, but always successful. \u00a0A grand wether at OYE, a grand wether at the state fair, \u00a0a reserve grand wether at OYE, a reserve grand wether at Denver, a reserve grand wether at Lone Star Elite. \u00a0Add in a host of div & reserve divisions at Tulsa and OYE. \u00a0I’m not even going to list his wins in ABGA shows. \u00a0Or the fact that he has raised a bunch of good ones. \u00a0Or all of his showmanship wins. \u00a0This is a quote from myself as well as Milligan–“The very best at setting a goat for a photo, or taking the photo and helping to clip for photos is Braden Schovanec.” \u00a0He has been a part of all facets of the goat industry. \u00a0And is still going. \u00a0 Teaching, coaching, raising goats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That’s enough for tonight. \u00a0I’m enjoying reminiscing. \u00a0And yes, I can probably still remember the genetics of all the wethers that we listed tonight. \u00a0Better yet, I can remember how damn good these kids were at their craft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
