Brooklyn fair goat show | Sawyer Family Farm

Last Sunday (8/17/25) we headed to the Heath, MA Fair for the first time. They have an ADGA sanctioned show we wanted to check out and we really enjoyed this event. Amanda was headed to camp in VT, so Anna had to drive her and didn’t get to the fair until ~2:30. Luckily, our friend Hillary was having some goat show FOMO and decided to join Rob with 8 of the goats. Here are our results:
Best of Breed Sr Lamancha – Sawfish Porsche
Champion Jr Lamancha – Sawfish Apple Fritter
Best of Breed Sr Record Grade – Lucky 4-Leaf E Red Hot Chili
Champion Jr Record Grade – Sawfish Tiramisu

We definitely plan to return to Heath next year.

Today, (8/24/25) we went to the Brooklyn Fair. This event has become our local favorite at only 20 minutes up the road. Here are our results:
Best of Breed Sr Lamancha – Majenli LK Carolina
Champion Jr Lamancha – Sawfish Chrysi
Best of Breed Sr Record Grade – Lucky 4-Leaf E Red Hot Chili
Champion Jr Record Grade – Sawfish Kipu
Best Sr Doe in Show – Majenli LK Carolina
Best Jr Doe in Show – Sawfish Chrysi

We didn’t get as many pictures because when you have 10 goats and only 3 handlers at a small, fast paced show, you don’t stop to take photos.

Next weekend we are headed out again!

We took the Sawfish goat herd to the Brooklyn Fair today and had a great day. Our friend Terrell Lavoie is the superintendent and we love supporting our friends. Things started off with Showmanship: Amanda took 1st in Intermediate with Sawfish AS Porsche, Quinn took 1st in Senior with Bitterblue’s LSD Phaylene, and Rob took 1st in Open with CH (pending) Majenli LK Carolina. Quinn took Best Overall Showman (limited to youth) and won a nice blanket, with Amanda Reserve champion.

Lamanchas were a popular breed at Brooklyn. Sawfish AS Porsche was 1st under 2yo milker, CH (pending) Majenli LK Carolina was was first 3-5yo , and Bitterblue’s LSD Phaylene was 1st aged milker (we didn’t have a 2-3yo entry). Carolina took Best of Breed and Senior Doe in Show (winning us a second blanket). Lucky 4-Leaf E Red Hot Chili took 1st in 2-3yo milker Recorded Grade and Best of Breed for Recorded Grade.

In Juniors, Sawfish Chrysi took 1st in 4-8mo Jr Lamancha, Sawfish AS Tesla took 1st in dry yearlings, and Tesla was Champion Junior Lamancha. Sawfish Kipu was 1st 4-8mo Jr Recorded Grade and Champion Junior Recorded Grade. We had 4 daughter/dam combos with us and 3 placed in the top 6 of 16. We were 1st in Best 3 and 2nd for Git of Sire and Produce of Dam.

Overall, we were very pleased with the our placings and look forward to the next show on our schedule at Blandford.
