3. Health Regulations: All out-of-state exhibitors must have a health certificate signed by a veterinarian within 30 days of the show. WV herds: either an honor herd certificate or CVI. All animals will be checked for contagious disease (sore mouth, pink-eye, ring worm, open abscess, etc) by the show committee or veterinarian. Any herds exhibiting signs will not be allowed to show. The decision of the show committee is final.
4. The original registration is required for all animals. A stamped duplicate (good for 30 days from date of issue) will be accepted for all animals under six months of age.
5. Check-in will begin no later than 7:30 AM on Saturday. Animals must be on the grounds by 8:00 AM. Showmanship classes will begin at 8:00 AM sharp with prizes awarded to winners. $25 is being donated to the first place adult showmanship winner (must be at least two entries).

6. Early entry fee is $6 per head per ring postmarked or entered online on or before Saturday, May 13.

Please email your entries to and then mail your check made out to SDGA to Katie Wolf, 655 Kearneysville Pike, Kearneysville, WV 25430. NEW: THIS YEAR WE WILL BE USING ONLY THE GOAT BARN FOR PENNING. Your names will be on your assigned pens. Pens are only 5'x4' with either 2 or 3 inch spacing between bars. Depending on their dispositions, either one huge nasty mature Alpine or 2 average size standard milkers might work per pen. We will try, but may not be able to have a buffer pen between some herds, so please order any additional tack pens you may need. Please use adequate bedding as unbedded pens make for difficult clean-up by our 4H crew. Thank you!
7. The fairgrounds' charge for any other barn usage is $200. The fee for tack or animal pens is $5 per pen. Straw is not provided. If you are showing any animals from out of your trailer or truck, there is a $10 fee. Trailer areas MUST BE CLEANED before leaving.
8. All Best of Breed winners must be present for the Best Doe in Show class.
9. MDGA, SDGA, ADGA, and the Jefferson County Fairgrounds will not be responsible for loss, damage, or accident to any person or property. Show entry indicates acceptance of all conditions in this form.
10. Dogs are not permitted in the barns or in the show ring area.
11. There will be a $35 bank fee charged for any returned checks.
12. A show book table will be located near one of the secretary's tables where all exhibitors may place their show books after checking in. The show books may remain there until the exhibitors are done showing for the day.
13. A 4H food booth located in close proximity to the show ring will provide a quality breakfast and lunch menu.
