It’s Show Time!

by

The Missouri State Fair has one of the few shows currently sanctioned by the Kinder Goat Breeders Association. It took years of hard work and dedication to make this show a reality, and it has become the longest running annual Kinder show in the world. Unfortunately, we now risk losing this show for lack of participation. 
If you have the time and ability, we ask that you consider attending this year’s show with your Kinder goats. Shows are a wonderful way to meet other breeders, market your goats and make great memories. This year the KGBA is also offering some exciting new incentives – premiums of $100 to Grand Champion and $50 to Reserve Grand Champion winners at all sanctioned Kinder shows. 
 
At this point, entries for all classes will be considered late and incur an additional late fee, but in order to encourage more entries the KGBA is also offering to reimburse breeders for any late entry fees, and assist our members in any other ways that we can. Have a question or concern? Please don’t hesitate to contact Leah Rennick, Lisa LaRose or myself. 
Late entries will only be accepted until the end of this month, so please register quickly if you would like to help us make this show a success. 
Below are links to the show bill and entry forms for the MO State Fair. The show will take place on Saturday, August 19th and Sunday, August 20th. Goats must be at the fair grounds on Friday evening. 
Thank you and good luck!

Ohio Sanctioned Kinder Goat Shows

by

The KGBA sanctioned Kinder Goat shows being held in Ohio are in less than a month! Whether you are able to bring goats or not, please try to join us for this great event. Shows will be held on Saturday and Sunday, and will be judged by two different judges – one NPGA judge and one ADGA judge. This is a great opportunity to have your goats assessed, meet other Kinder goat owners, relax and have a great time!

Show bill and entry forms can be found on the kGBA website at https://kindergoatbreeders.com/shows.html

Good luck to all participating goats and exhibitors!!

We are very excited to announce a number of upcoming Kinder shows. Shows are a great place to connect with other Kinder owners, buy or sell goats and get professional opinions that assist you in breeding for future herd improvement. Please consider competing, volunteering or simply attending… we need your support for these shows to succeed!

April 1st- June 1st – The KGBA is pleased to announce that we will be holding another online show this spring. All you need is a few high quality pictures of your registered Kinder goats.  Go to the Virtual Show Guidelines page for and entry form and helpful tips on how to enter your goat.  

****The KGBA online show is offered as a benefit to our members.  Only current members of KGBA can show their registered Kinders.

June 11-12th, 2016 – Youngstown, Ohio – The Mahoning County Capriculturists 4H Club will be hosting a sanctioned Kinder Show on June 11th and 12th, 2016. This will be a two day stand-alone Kinder Show at the Canfield Fairgrounds near Youngstown, Ohio. More details will follow…

Results Are In!!!

by

The Kinder Goat Breeders Association is excited to announce the results of our very first online show! We had many exceptional Kinder goats entered in the show, and are extremely grateful to our judge, Kim Shunney, for sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience by taking the time to write editorials on each of her choices.

Online shows are not sanctioned by the KGBA for a number of reasons – first and foremost being that it is extremely difficult to judge a goat without seeing them move or being able to put your hands on them. A wonderful goat can place poorly in a class due to the angle of a photo or poor lighting. Major faults in another goat may not be as apparent in pictures. For this reason, online show results should always be taken for what they are – a good learning opportunity based on the very specific images that have been submitted, not the last word on any goat’s quality or value.

We thank those who submitted entries for making our first online show such a great success… it is an outstanding group of goats!
