Missouri State Fair

In 1992 the Kinder were put on display at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, MO. Harvey Considine was the dairy goat judge there that year. We ask, if after he had finished with judging, he would come back to see the Kinder goats that we had on exhibit to give us his opinion of the breed.

Harvey was always so willing to help goat breeders, he came back to see our animals after the dairy goat show that day. He told us that he felt there was a place for this breed but he had only one question, "how are they going to milk"? We only had Kinder kids so we personally could not give him an answer. We knew there were Kinder in Washington State that were good milkers.

It was right then, that I decide, that my Kinder were going to milk and they would milk well. I would search out milk lines to add to my already started Kinder herd. I was determined that I would have a good dual purpose animal for both milk and meat.

I was truly on a mission. I bred, culled, milked, and had them evaluated by Harvey Considine almost every year. When Harvey would come and evaluate an animal some what low, I would cull that goat out of my herd. I might have loved it dearly but it had to go if it didn't meet the standards.

I finally was able to breed Kinder that would milk and were also meat animals. They had good body conformation, good udders, milked well and would win in the show ring.They were a true dual purpose animal that were winning blue ribbons.
