We caught up with Kaydee Jo (KJ) Anthony, the exhibitor the Reserve Supreme Champion Breeding Doe at the 2024 Oklahoma Youth Expo! Learn a little more about KJ below!
What’s your favorite memory with your champion?
My sister got to show her mom and was successful so it was a full circle family moment being able to show this one!
Who has been your biggest inspiration to become the person you are today?
My brother Connor is who I look up to the most he’s a hard worker and has been able to have success in the show ring but I also am thankful to have Jake and Darby in my corner ringside they push me to be a better showman.
How do you prepare your goats to build up the stamina to last in the show ring?
Lots of hard work at home, walking them, standing with them, lots of chain work, and stand time working hair!
How many animals do you have on feed this year?
We started with 7 Does and and then got that down to 5, but also had 8 sheep that my brother and I both got to show throughout the year together.
If you could use one word to describe your champion what would it be?
FREAK
Did you experience something that didn’t go as planned with your goats? How did you overcome that?
It seems something always comes up but this year I had a few that had “attitudes” of their own! Little Nikki was a princess but she would not let me touch her legs all year it made for difficult times!
