Show Guidelines

1. The purpose of the Junior East Texas Meat Goat Show Team is to promote, and encourage participation of youth in a meat goat project. Members are rewarded at the end of our show season with an Awards Banquet. Points shall be collected and recorded at each show.

2 Organizations who are interested in being included on the JETMGST Show Calendar must complete the following form, and return it to the Show Committee postmarked by June 30, 2007. (Approval does not carry over from year to year. A new form must be completed each year.)

3. JETMGST has a sanctioning fee of $50.00 and must be paid when agreement returned.

4. JETMGST reserves the right to approve only one show per calendar year by the same organization

5. We will provide information on scheduled shows at our information booth to our members, and other exhibitors. We will also place show information in our newsletter, which is mailed out to all our show team members. Any organization that would like to make a donation to JETMGST to help cover this expense is welcomed to do so. Donations will be used for our year - end awards program.

c. Will use the following NO BRACE RULE. – MUST BE ENFORCED!!

No bracing rule: Exhibitors will not lift the front legs of goats off the ground or brace animals during judging. Exhibitors must allow animals to stand naturally during judging. This does not mean an exhibitor cannot prevent the animal from moving forward during judging by standing in front of the animal. Goats MUST be shown with all four feet on the ground. The judges will have the option of asking the exhibitor to let the animal stand naturally if they desire. The front end of the animal maybe slightly lifted off of the ground to set up the front legs only. Then the goat’s feet must remain on the ground. Violation of this rule could result in the forfeit of all points earned at the show. Continued violation of this rule could lead to disbarment from membership in the JETMGST and the loss of all points previously earned.

JETMGST reserves the right to review this rule with the judge prior to the beginning of any judging at any show.

d. All shows are requested to have a cash payback or prizes of equal value. A cash payback of 50% is not a requirement.

e. Every sanctioned show is asked to have a “no visible sign of illness or disease” statement in their entry rules. We are asking that this be strictly enforced. Any questions may be directed to the Show Team Chair.

7. Official Show Results

The official results must be completed and returned to the Show Committee

within 10 days after the show. These results must show placing of the entire class in order for points to be awarded to show participants correctly.

2. First and Last Name of all exhibitors in each class.

3. Order of placing of all exhibitors in the class.
