Show Info
We usually do all the fall shows and youth are welcome to participate in any show we attend depending on goat transportation availability so check with us. If youth have their own goat, they can attend any show independently as a club representative.
Show Requirements:
Completed the Dairy Goat Project camp program.
To be considered for show, youth must have logged the required time working with their goat.
Youth are required to wear dairy whites or they will not be allowed in the ring regardless if show rules allow black pants.
Each youth should purchase and label their own show lead.
You are responsible for payment of entry fees and to complete registration prior to the deadline.
Youth must have a valid Ethics training number.
Youth must complete record book and obtain the required signatures before show check-in date.
Thank you letters are to be sent to the fair organizers, the judge, and to sponsors if on a scholarship. Photos should be included with the letter to sponsors. We will have a post show session to do this before or after a regular club meeting. If youth cannot make that meeting, they must be sure to send their letters on their own.
