RWF's Fibre Competition History
Listed below are the results of the fibre competitions we have entered over the last few years. Although we are very proud of our accomplishments at these shows and we have never failed to place at shows we entered, I would like to put the placings into perspective.
The first thing to keep in mind when looking at show results is that not every farm is represented at fibre or live show competitions, so the results of these shows only reflect the placings amongst the animals at the show and don't necessarily mean winners are the best animals of the breed across the country.
Secondly, most breeders have an equal or greater number of quality goats and or fleeces they don't send to competition for any number of reasons, so just because you may be buying offspring that are not from these top show goats, doesn't mean you are not getting quality cashmere animals.
The last thing to keep in mind when viewing show results is that the calibre of the animals being entered in these shows is extremely high with very little variation between them. It is an almost impossible job for the judges in fibre or live shows to put one animal over another. There are no "perfect" cashmere goats or cashmere fleeces. This also means that even animals that don't place or seem to come last in a class are typically still stellar animals and may be the top fleece in the next show.
All that being said, we are thrilled to share with you some of our show accomplishments under a number of different cashmere judges whose opinions and perspectives we very much respect!
Fleece shows are an excellent and affordable way to get other breeders opinions on your fleeces and to have some fun in the process!
