2023 Show Schedule
Division IV – NWCA Cashmere Goat Show
Show Time: Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 9 am
Show Chair: Jaime Hudson, ourrockinghranch@gmail.com, 503-516-7427
Judge: Ainsley Henry
Ainsley Henry says: I started my goat journey by leasing a fiber goat for 4H and soon after fell in love with breeding and showing fiber goats. I purchased my first couple of Pygora goats in 2018 and my herd has only grown since. I have bred and shown fiber goats and Shetland sheep in 4H and FFA for 4 years. After shadowing a few judges and learning about Cashmere, Angora, and other fiber goats, I am now a sanctioned Pygora goat judge and am interested in expanding my experience with judging pygora goats to include judging fiber in general.
