Keenan also won Grand and Reserve Grand Champion of the Market Goat Division, also representing Warren County at The Throwdown in the Wether show.
“Today, I won grand champion doe with a goat that is very small, with a lot of hair. And I still love her. And I won Grand Champion Wether with a big wether. He has a white belt around his body, and he is all brown other than that,” says Keenan. “I prepared them with my parents. My parents are the best. They help me with everything, and I decided with my doe- I work with the most, and she is my favorite. And my wether, he is good, and I work with him the most. And I like him the most.”
In the Junior Show, Keenan won Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion Doe and Wether in the Junior Goat show on Friday.
