Exhibitor Spotlight
Brisco Black
We caught up with Brisco Black, the exhibitor the Grand Champion Market Goat at the 2024 Rodeo Austin! Learn a little more about Brisco below!
What’s your favorite memory with your champion?
My favorite thing about him was his shaggy legs. He had a ton of hair.
Who has been your biggest inspiration to become the person you are today?
My mom and dad inspire me the most on a daily basis but I have some hero’s that I look up to that I want to be like as I get older. Also, seeing other kids win and show real good made me want to get better so I can be like them.
How do you prepare your goats to build up the stamina to last in the show ring?
We don’t work on bracing a whole lot but they get exercised every day. I think the thing that helps me and the animals is when we hand walk from the barn all the way down our road.
How many animals do you have on feed this year?
Last year we fed 5 goats and 5 sheep.
If you could use one word to describe your champion what would it be?
Drama
Did you experience something that didn’t go as planned with your goats? How did you overcome that?
This goat always had problems and was high maintenance. The most stressful was when he got staph about 2 weeks before Austin and my parents said we were not even going to show him. Then we decided to take him about two days before we needed to leave for the show.

Keegan Cooley
We caught up with Keegan Cooley, the exhibitor the Reserve Grand Champion Prospect Market Goat at the 2024 American Royal Spring Show! Learn a little more about Keegan below!
What’s your favorite memory with your champion?
This was my very first goat and the Spring American Royal was my first time being in the show ring…my sister Kenna has tried to talk me into showing for a while, but I always said no. I think my favorite memory is my sister being so nervous and excited that I was showing. It was awesome to get to know a lot of people at the show and to see all that goes on behind the scenes with clipping and fitting.
Who has been your biggest inspiration to become the person you are today?
My Mom and Dad push me to be a good person and to work hard on a daily basis. I also play travel basketball and baseball and my coaches have pushed me to work hard and improve my skills, My sister is the one who inspires me when it comes to showing goats. She has been a good sport about helping me, having a lot of patience and she pushes me to do better with him every time we are working in the barn. I hope that someday I am half the showman that she is.
How do you prepare your goats to build up the stamina to last in the show ring?
I’ve only had my goat a few weeks. So far we have just spent a lot of time in the barn getting him used to us, used to getting washed and his leg hair worked plus we go on a lot of walks. He eats a lot for a little man so for now we’re just pushing feed and water.
How many animals do you have on feed this year?
Juan is the only goat we have in the barn right now. He will probably be the only goat I have this year since it is my first year showing. Hopefully, my sister will end up with some good ones in the barn too.
If you could use one word to describe your champion what would it be?
It would have to be cute….I probably had 100 people tell me how cute he was at the show. He only weighs 43 pounds right now but likes to act like a big man.
Did you experience something that didn’t go as planned with your goats? How did you overcome that?
Since this was my first show a lot did not go as planned lol….but the end result was awesome! If I had to pick one thing, it would probably be that he didn’t walk as well as he does at home and he was probably as nervous as I was.

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Revoked X Juice
In your opinion, who has been the most influential buck across the industry?
Very loaded question. There is a ton of bucks out there that could be extremely influential, but semen isn’t being sold on them. I think it’s very dependent on what you need in your herd for what can influence you the most.
What makes your operation run smoothly?
Having a dad who plans stuff for every minute of every day. Haha. But really having a plan is the most important. You can’t just wing it.
What does your breeding season look like? Do you AI or flush most of your Females?
We do our fair share of flushing and AIing depending on the time of year. We do most of our flushing from June to October and then most of our natural kids are born after April 1.
How has the new reproduction practices impacted your herd?
Splash breeding has allowed us to get more does bred to younger/better bucks while not giving the bucks an opportunity to get hurt.
What’s your dream as a producer?
We are living on the dream. Getting to do what you love is the actual dream.
Do you prefer online sales or live sales?
Depends on how many goats or who you are trying to sell to.
