- All goats must be vaccinated for rabies. The vaccination must be recorded on your CVI by the veterinarian.
- All standard dairy goat breeds will be shown together—Alpine, La Mancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, and Toggenburg—instead of separate breed classes. Nigerian dwarfs will continue to have their own class.
- We are continuing a Companion Goat class. Fainting goats, pygmy goats, dairy wethers, does over 24 months that have never freshened, and meat goat wethers over 12 months of age will be judged as companion goats.
- We developed and posted a Companion Goat Scorecard.
No exceptions will be made to rules #1-4. There will be a formal vet check prior to unloading. All animals must have legible identification that matches their health papers. No animal will be allowed on the grounds without legible identification and matching health papers!!! (Electronic ID is acceptable as long as you bring the reader.)
There will be three classes for showmanship—Novice (grades 4-5), Junior (grades 6-8), Senior (grades 9-13). All exhibitors must participate in their Showmanship class. Showmanship will not be separated by type of goat. Dairy, meat, fiber, and companion goat exhibitors will be together for showmanship.
