One of our Kent County 4-H families has a goat for sale.... here is the info:
...a nubian wether born 4/19/11 that is bottle fed, dehorned, and tattooed.
...interested in finding a 4-H home for him.

GLOM show update.....
Below is a copy and re-post of an update from Linda Kast regarding why there is no GLOM show this year...... NOTE - she mentions several other goat shows that are options, including our Lowell Youth Open & 4-H Goat Show on June 11th.
Hi all, I just wanted to try to explain why the GLOM show will not be in
2011. My family and I have been involved in putting this show together
for at least the last 25 years, maybe more, and it means a great deal to
me. A whole lot of caring has been put forth to make it MIchigan's
largest show and one with a lot of extra things going on. In the past
two years, Don's health has deteriorated and he is no longer able to
help, not even to attend and both of our daughters have full time jobs,
each has two children and they are not able to help as they use to, than
for the last issue, I have just gotten old and tired and can not take it
mostly on by myself. Even though the show is attended by so many, there
just did not seem to be anyone willing to jump in and take on some of
the responsibility and workload for that weekend, thanks so very much
for those that did bits and pieces though. So with a lot of thought and
so much sadness, I decided to let it go. As that weekend grows closer,
it is such a relief but I will miss it so very much. I hope that
everyone will support the other shows in our state, there will be the
Kent county 4-H open show June 11, the MDGS show June 18 & 19, the State
4-H goat show June 25, the LEGS show that same weekend, June 25 & 26,
the Ingham county show is July 30 and the new Great Lakes Ag Expo Sept
3-5. Enjoy them all! lk
