This
past July, I had
the incredible experience of judging the 2011 National
Show for the FIRST
time! While I was judging, Bentley had fun having
her photos taken by the official photographer (at
left). After a two year hiatus, we are looking
forward to showing again at the 2012 Nationals! |

Our hearts are
filled with joy! |

Our
lives were forever changed on June 15, 2010 with the
birth of our daughter, Bentley Makenna. She was
born at 4:50 pm and weighed 7 lbs. 10
oz. and was 20 inches long. It is hard to believe that a
year has already passed and our little girl is now running
throughout the barn and 'helping' with chores!

The Story Behind
the LakeShore Herd |
|
As with most herds there is usually a story behind their beginnings that is unique to them, but one that is also quite familiar to many others. Our story at LakeShore is similar to most in that what started many years ago in the spring of 1990 as a young girls 4-H project has evolved into a labor of love, which now includes the whole family.
It all began when I attended a fair with my cousins who were showing swine and happened to visit the goat barns, where I fell in love with a baby Nubian that was joyfully playing on top of his grand dam. That baby goat, Jangles, quickly became my 4-H market goat project and would go on to win Reserve Champion at the local fair that fall. Soon after selling him at the fair auction, I realized just how much the goats meant to me and later purchased four does and a buck to start a herd of my own.
Over the past
twenty years, what used to be a 4-H project has transformed itself into a family venture bringing us much joy, opportunity and togetherness. Our goal has been to produce well-balanced animals that show, milk and reproduce. Through the years we have worked with several different bloodlines to develop our own style of Nubians, ones that enable us to achieve our goals. On average our herd consists of around thirty animals that compete on both a local and national level each year. We are very pleased with the type of animals that we are breeding and are proud and confident to offer them for sale to our fellow Nubian breeders. |
