Sheep & Goat Show

       

 

Saturday, August 24, 2024
Fresno Fair Grounds

Weigh-in and Preparation begins at 8:00 AM
Sheep Show begins at 9:00 AM
Dairy Goat Show begins at 9:00 AM

Market Goat Show begins at 9:30 AM

(Sheep Show and Goat Show starting times are staggered to help accommodate members showing more than one species.  If a participant finds that 2 classes overlap, for courtesy to the exhibitors already in the ring, the class will only be delayed 5 minutes.)

Showmanship (Seniors will go first followed by Intermediate and Juniors) then Market Classes will follow (broken down by weight.)

Sheep & Goats will show at the same time in different rings, but will begin at different times to try to accommodate  those exhibitors showing animals in both species.

                          (Any entries past August 19th will be charged a $5 late

A valuable learning experience is being offered to all sheep and meat goat project members raising market projects for the Fresno or Caruthers Fairs. Plan to take advantage of the opportunity to gain new skills and hear a judge’s critique of animals. There are many benefits to participating in this show including special prizes.

Animal Eligibility- Please take note! All animals shown at the 4-H Sheep & Goat Show must also be entered and shown in either Caruthers and/or Fresno Fairs in the appropriate market class. Each exhibitor may enter and show up to 2 animals per species.

Goat Show Participants:
Dairy Goat Showmanship (non-market) is being offered. No dairy breed classes. Market goat classes offered in two divisions, market  Boer and market dairy. (Market Dairy- one division will be offered.  This division will not be broken into weights.) May combine showmanship based on number of entries. Non-market dairy will have their own showmanship classes.
