2014
The first show attended by Willowstone was our local Maitland Show on the 16 February 2014. Whilst we were a little unprepared, we were very happy with Willow placing first in her class (doe, 6 months and under 9 months) and then to top the day off, she went on to secure Junior Reserve Champion Boer Doe!
Willows temperament is just a sweet as her little face!

Second class of the day for Willowstone at Maitland show allowed our favourite little girl "Jasmin" to parade her beauty to judge Rodney Rayner! Jaz was awarded a first place in the doe 12 months to 18 months.
Jasmine's breeding details can be found here and we know she will breed us some fantastic kids in the near future!

Newcastle Regional Show was next for 2014 and saw some very successful results. "Rebel" was awarded first in his buck class (over 12 months) and then went on to be awarded Senior Champion Buck! Also in the buck classes, "Shotgun" was awarded second against a very masculine big boy in the junior buck class and we were very happy with how he paraded himself to judge Celia Burnett-Smith at his first ever show.
Willowstone was also successful at Newcastle with our beautiful does including a second in the 6 to 9 months class with "Willow" and second for "Jasmin" in the 12 to 18 month class. The girls then went on to win the group class for three does (including little "Showgirl") owned by the same exhibitor!

Our visit to the Sydney Royal from the 19 April to 23 April 2014 was highly successful with our two young does in the under 12 months divisions. "Showgirl" was awarded a first place in her class (Division A, 4 to 12 months).

We think she is just the sweetest little doe and hope she grows out beautifully too!

We found the competition very tough with some beautiful long and feminine does on display but "Willow" was lucky enough to secure a third place after some deliberation from South African Judge, Kobus Lotter! We were very proud as the winner of this class (Division B, 4 to 12 months) went on to win Kid Champion Doe, Grand Champion Standard Boer Doe and Best Boer Goat in Show!

2015
Maitland Show February 2015 was highly successful with Willowstone Boers taking home some broad ribbons including Champion Kid Doe with Willowstone Kahlee and Reserve Champion Senior Doe with Terraweena Showgirl.
Kahlee also went on to secure Grand Champion Doe which was a lovely surprise.

The lovely Willowstone Kassidy and Willowstone Kayden also were placed in the under 12 month class with a respectable 2nd and 3rd.

The time quickly had come around for the Sydney Royal Easter Show for 2015.
Following last years event, we were taking only 7 animals include 4 babies for the under 12 months class. The competition is fierce for the National Show but we enjoyed every moment. It was great to see the free entry for under 12months animals in the objective measurement and whilst we did not place, it was fantastic to have a certificate to show the differences in the measurements taken over 3 differently bred animals at such a young age all being declared "super elite".
Our results for the 2015 National Show were as follows:
CLASS: 300A - Doe Kid, 4 months and under 12 months - Division A.
Second Place MR TY ROBSON AND MS KAYLA VOLKER - WILLOWSTONE BOERS- WILLOWSTONE KASSIDY
Fourth Place MR TY ROBSON AND MS KAYLA VOLKER - WILLOWSTONE BOERS- WILLOWSTONE KAHLEE
