  10. The show committee asks that no animals showing evidence of sickness, disease or contagious lesions be brought to 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.
