Market Goat Rules



 Chairman:
 Savannah Henscey 
 Advisor: Katlyn Jumper 


  1. The market goat division is subject to all rules listed under the general rules.
  2. An entry fee of $30.00 is due at the time of the small animal tag-in.
  3. This division is open to any breed or crossbred wethers or nannies goat may be shown.
  4. Goats must be dehorned or their horns must be tipped at the time of tag-in. Ends of the tipped horns must be no smaller than the diameter of a dime at the time of the check-in.
  5. Qualifying weights are 60 pounds to 125 pounds with a five (5) pounds weight tolerance. All goats must weigh-in between 7:00-7:30 p.m. on the Wednesday of the show week. Goats not making weight will be backed off the scales, scales will be checked for balance, and the goat will be reweighed immediately. Goats not meeting the required weights will have the opportunity to weigh again before the end of the weigh-in period. It is recommended that the goat be properly groomed – which includes clipping.
  6. All goats classes will be broken by the committee chair.
  7. Each exhibitor must be able to show his/her goat unassisted. Collars are suggested during the judging and the showmanship contest. Exhibitors may use collars, chains, or halters to show in. 
  8. Market goat showmanship will be divided into a junior and senior class. One showman from each class will be selected.
  9. No show aids other than soap and water will be allowed. Violators will not be permitted to show their goat.
  10. Pelleted shavings or cedar fiber will be allowed in the goat barn.
