Show Rules
1. Goats entered in the shows must be registered by the Myotonic Goat Registry. The original registration certificate must accompany the goat during check-in.
2. Age eligibility for classes will be determined by birth date on the registration certificate and the date of the show.
3. The full correct registered name of the goat must be used on the entry forms.
4. Every goat must have a permanent ID on its body (USDA scrapie tag, tattoo, or microchip) and this permanent ID must be on the animal’s registration certificate. Exhibitors must bring a reader if their goats are microchipped. Tattoos and tags must be legible.
5. The exhibitor name on the show entry form must be the same as the owner’s name on the registration certificate, unless the exhibitor has a signed transfer application dated less than 45 days prior to the show date.
6. One MGR breeder number constitutes one exhibitor but exhibitor may have any number of handlers.
7. All Youth Showmanship exhibitors must know their breeder number and have the participating goat’s MGR registration certificate available.
8. To prevent the appearance of anything improper, exhibitors shall not approach the judge until the conclusion of the show. After the show ends is also the proper time to ask the judge any relevant questions.
9. Health Certificate: Every goat present for the shows must be listed by its permanent ID on a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection signed by an accredited veterinarian. The Certificate must be dated less than 30 days prior to the show. This Certificate will also meet the requirements of the state of Minnesota. Exhibitors will provide a copy of the Certificate to the show committee to keep.
10. Goats will be carefully examined at check-in for any sign of respiratory issues, abscesses, foot rot, open wounds, and other signs of illness or injury. Goats showing any of these signs will not be permitted to unload and may not be shown. PLEASE don’t bring goats with any of these issues.
11. Substitutions will be allowed at check-in within the same class at no charge as long as the animal is on the health certificate.
12. All goats must be shown with a collar and lead and be under the control of their handler at all times, particularly bucks.

14. Every goat on the premises must be entered in a show.
15. No smoking nor alcoholic beverages are permitted in pen areas or the arena area.
