Showing is super easy and we will help teach you if you are nervous or don’t know what you are doing! If you can’t show, we’d still love for you to come watch at 4pm on Saturday.
Extra Information
You will NEED a 3 day vehicle pass and admission tickets for each person attending for two days. CHEAPER TO BUY AHEAD OF TIME WHEN YOU SIGN UP ONLINE. You will need to fill out the vendor form if you would like to receive prize money from the MO State Fair but it’s not mandatory.
Sleeping in the barn is allowed but you must clean up every day. I recommend asking for an extra pen to sleep in/keep your gear in. I also recommend asking to be penned next to other Kinder breeders.
Don’t forget food, bedding, and water buckets for your goats. Tarps and zipties are great to protect your animals from rain or for biosecurity.
Bring a lawn chair and enjoy hanging out with other goat breeders or walk around the fairgrounds and have fun during the down time.
ALL GOATS ATTENDING WILL NEED TO HAVE A HEALTH CERTIFICATE!!
Every goat will be inspected by a state veterinarian before being allowed off the trailer. Every goat on the fairgrounds must be registered and tattooed and be listed on a Certified Veterinary Inspection health paper.
Email kelseegibbs@yahoo.com with any questions!
Goat Evaluations will be offered!
We would prefer you to sign up for evaluations in advance. You will not be billed until after evaluations have been completed. Please feel free to sign up any goat you are bringing to the fair, if you choose to not have everyone scored, you will only be billed for actual animals evaluated. Per goat fee is $5!
Please email Ashley at kindergoatbreeders@gmail.com to get signed up!
