SHOW RULES

NPGA rules will govern all NPGA classes. Per NPGA show rules, it is the exhibitor’s responsibility to make sure that their animals are entered in the correct classes. Please do not send in entry forms without class numbers listed for your goats. Any NPGA animal over 6 months of age must be tattooed or microchipped prior being shown in a sanctioned NPGA class or wether class according to NPGA show rules. All goats entered in the NPGA sanctioned classes must be accompanied by their NPGA registration certificates. Registered wethers should also have their registration certificates accompanying them. Unregistered wethers can be shown in the wether classes. Unregistered does and bucks may only show in their respective unregistered conformation classes. Goats bearing the judge’s herdname may not be shown under that judge.

ENTRIES

Entry fees are $8.00 per goat/per class payable to NCPGC. (No charge for showmanship.) Entry deadline to be included in the showbook is April 9, 2018. Substitutions and late entries will not be included in the printed program. Age computation for classes is based on the age of the goat on the date of the show.

Pens will be provided for this show at $8.00 each. They are approximately 4 x 8 feet. There are separate buck and doe/wether sections. Please indicate how many of each type pen you will need.
