Wrangling goats and winning ribbons

MOSES LAKE — The young people line up outside of the pen, wrangling the goats they have been raising all season and waiting for the judge to call them into the ring. Goat heads buck, feet fly into the air and one by one they trot into the enclosure, often pulling the goat by its leash and sometimes its tail to get them inside. The young agriculture enthusiasts wait for the judge to walk by and examine their goats.
