4-H Goat

Goats at the fair!!

A new policy allows the off label rabies vaccine to be administered to goats showing at the fair, and a double barrier fencing with a “do not touch” sign will NOT have to be required!! A brief write up about the new policy: Goats Policy

With this is mind, fair time is right around the corner! If you have youth who are planning on showing goats at the fair (which we encourage as it is a fun and rewarding experience) please make sure that animals are current with their vaccines.

For the fair goats are required to have:

• Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) issued by a Category 2 accredited veterinarian
• Rabies vaccine
• USDA approved official ID or scrapie identification

Exhibitors must handle their own animals in the show ring except in group classes. Two entries allowed per class. No bucks or goats with horns allowed, unless breed specific. Wethers permissible in showmanship, costume and obstacle course classes. Cloverbud Exhibitors must be accompanied by an individual age 13+, and will receive a participation ribbon.
