We believe hosting shows is a responsibility of every good breeder and another way of offering our own "breeder support" to our customers.

In May 2004, Ground Rush Farm hosted the Culpeper Show, offering 5 AGS shows.  Over 100 Nigerians entered!  

In 2003 we hosted two show dates for a total of  7 AGS shows!    

Shows create the opportunity for new goat owners and new breeders to learn and interact with other goat enthusiasts.  

Our shows have been well attended, offering excellent competition for the established breeder too.  The quality of Nigerian Dwarf Goats in our show area is outstanding!  Win or lose we always come away with more knowledge and higher goals.  

Our shows are very family oriented and a great learning experience for kids.  So if there is someone out there who has been thinking about getting started in showing just jump in and get your feet wet! 

See you at the show!

  * Please note that  Ground Rush Farm does not hold a standing annual show date at this time so please do not plan your breeding program on our past show schedule. 

           SHOW RESULTS

Greetings to the Kritter Family !

My son Dakota and I wanted to share with you our show results from our
last show weekend of 06.....boy did we have fun!

The Frederick Co fair offered ND's as a Demo breed this year, with the
promise that if we could make numbers, we could have separate sanction
next year - there were around 18 ND's shown w/8 milkers -  you will be
happy to know that Ground Rush Mamma Mia took Reserve Grand CH  and
Ground Rush Rhapsodie En Bleu took Grand Champion.........

So the next day, was the Eastern National Livestock show and Ground Rush
Mamma Mia took Reserve Grand in the AOP division  (youth show) against
some really nice big goat udders and then............

it was Ground Rush Mamma Mia that won the Senior Doe  CH and Grand
Champion ......and Ground Rush Rhapsodie En Bleu took Reserve Sr and
Reserve Grand in the separately sanctioned ND division, consisting of 22
does - 10 milkers!  Not bad from the youngest milker class heh??? :-)

The judge said " these two does are
perfect example of a miniature dairy goat !"  He was also nice enough to
sign an AGS win form for us so that Mia can get credit in AGS for her
big day!

As always we remain thankful to you and Elena for letting us have these
two wonderful does!  Mia is Dakota's showmanship doe and this year was
undefeated in his age division (junior) in showmanship in six shows (4H
and ADGA)!  She is so well behaved, and always keeps her feet where he
places them the first time!  Bleu is not quite as well behaved in the
ring, but she is my baby!  She still likes to lay in my lap for a cheek
and tummy rub!

If you ever decide to let another Wanda girl go - let us know!  We can
soar to Culpepper if the opportunity arrives!!!!!!!!!

Hope all is well with you and your family, and that the volley ball
circuit has given Elena continued success !
