Payment can be made by PayPal to UCDairyGoatClub@gmail.com. PayPal fees must be paid by the exhibitor. In case of emergency, with 48 hours’ notice given, fees will be returned, if already paid. Your early entry will greatly help the UC Dairy Goat Club to predict numbers and do all we can to be sure that each breed is official.

Prior to the show, the Show Secretary must be shown the original registration or recordation certificate, an ADGA stamped duplicate application or a faxed copy of application or original if stamped by the ADGA office. No electronic stamped duplicates will be viewed/allowed; hard copies must be present.

  9. All goats must have a current health certificate issued within 60 days of the date of show. Out of state animals – Negative TB and Brucellosis test within 30 days of show (NO TEST REQUIRED IF YOU COME FROM A FREE STATE) or originate from a certificate and accredited herd. 
  10. The show committee asks that no animals showing evidence of sickness, disease or contagious lesions be brought to the show. This includes but is not limited to ringworm, sore mouth, and abscesses. If the show committee sees an animal that causes concern, you may be asked to trailer the animal for the remainder of the show.

  15. Camping: There are no camper hookups at the barn. If you are planning to camp out and are setting up a tent or cot, we do ask that it be set up out of the way to not block any exits or aisle ways. If we have enough people looking to camp out, we may be able to secure an additional area/building that would be solely intended as a camping location.

  20. UC Dairy Goat Club Show Committee has the right to change or add to the show rules as needed. 
  21. The UC Dairy Goat Club’s main goal is to provide an environment where goat enthusiasts of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels can come together to learn, share their passion for their goats, support each other, and generally have a positive experience! Anyone displaying poor sportsmanship, disrespectful behavior towards other exhibitors, the judges, Putnam County Fair, volunteers, or others will be asked to leave and will not be permitted to participate in any future club sponsored events.
