Welcome to the JLGA
Since the
beginning of the JLGA in December
2007, it's then current members voted to adopt a symbol
& slogan, that they felt
best represented their association, what it stood for, &
their state. It was unanimous, the colors would be purple,
green, & gold & the symbol would be the Fleur-De-Lis. Many slogans
were discussed, but a comment from one Jr. Members talking about 2 & 4
legged kids, sealed the deal & thus
"KIDS" The future of the goat industry became the slogan.
Come visit us on Facebook - post
goat pictures - talk to other goat
people -
list things for sale - post your
accomplishments.

The Junior
Louisiana Goat Association is dedicated to all youth & their goat projects
throughout the state of Louisiana.
The main focus of
the JLGA has & always will be
the youth & their goat projects.
In keeping with this focus the JLGA
Adult Advisors noticed that besides
just showing, more youth were getting
into raising their own goats to show.
The goats were also expanding. Not
only were youth raising & showing
market & boer goats, but AOB goats
were on a steady increase, especially
the dairy goats. So much in fact
that the JLGA Adult Advisors saw a
need to separate the AOB Class into
2 classes beginning with the 2008 JLGA
Show Season. The AOB goats continued
to increase through 08 & 09 that
for 2010 Show Season a "Pygmy Wether"
class was added. 2010 Show Season
continued to see a big increase in
the number of pygmies showing, so much
so that on a trial basis for
2011 Show Season, Pygmy Does &
Bucks were given their own respective
classes along with the continuation of
the Pygmy Wether Class. For 2011 the
AOB Doe & Buck Classes consisted of any other meat breeds than
boers or pygmies, any hair breed, or
any dual purpose breeds such as Kinder
Goats. The increase in AOB, Dairy,
& Pygmies continued through the 2011
Show Season & as a result for
the 2012 JLGA Show Season, we will
continue to have the separate AOB,
Dairy, Pygmy, & Pygmy Wethers Classes
along with the addition of an AOB
Companion wether class on a trail basis.
The JLGA
is dedicated to the youth &
promoting the youth goat project throughout
the state of Louisiana. The JLGA is
open to all youth ages 0-19 as
of January 1 of the year they
wish to be a member. Out of State youth may be JLGA
members & enjoy full JLGA Membership
benefits with the exception of the
Bayou Certified Program.
The 2011 JLGA
Show Season was a great year. A
total of 7 open junior
shows were held throughout the state &
the youth participating worked really hard
& it showed in their animals. 2011
"End of Year" Placings can be
found at the bottom of Points Page #2.
Planning for
the 2012 JLGA Show Season is
under way. Please check the News & Events page often as
updated information will be posted there
as soon as available regarding 2012
Show Dates, Locations, Rules, etc.
Also please be sure to read over
the Rules & Guidelines & Bayou
Certified Rules as some rules have
changed for the 2012 JLGA Show Season.
HOPE TO SEE YOU DOWN THE ROAD SOMEWHERE!!

------------------------------------------------------------------
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING HAIR
LENGTH ON DAIRY GOATS -
Dairy
goats are slick sheared due to the
fact that they have very different
body styles & are more angular
than meat goats & excessive hair
length can hide their true frame &
angles. In the past, the JLGA did
have dairy checks regarding hair length
since the class was new to the JLGA
& rules were new to JLGA
exhibitors. Since the new "Winter Dairy
Rule" went into effect this year
there has been a little confusion on
which hair length is acceptable. All
this season it has been noted when
shows are announced which dairy rule
applies either the regular slick-shear rule"
of hair no longer than 1/4" or
the "Winter rule" of hair length
to be preferably 1"
or under in length but no more
than 1 1/4". Also we will be
going back to dairy hair checks
starting with Show #5 in Crowley &
all future JLGA Shows,
in order to make sure all dairy goats
meet each show dairy hair length
requirements. As per JLGA dairy goats
in the 0-u3 month class are exempt
from both rules, they do not have
to slick-sheared at all.
At each show after books are completed
an announcement will be made & a
table will be set up with a JLGA
show personnel who is familiar with
dairy goats & hair length requirements.
All dairy goats (with the exception of
0-u3 month class) must be brought to
this table before the start of the
dairy classes for hair length check.
All goats who are checked at the
assigned table & meet the hair
length requirements for that show will
receive a star by their names on
the class books & will be good
to go for that days dairy classes.
All goats not meeting the hair length
requirements for that show will be
noted & exhibitors & parents will
have the opportunity to re-shear these
goats in order for them to meet show
requirement hair lengths for that day.
These goats will then need to be
re-checked at the designated table before
the start of the dairy show. If
hair length is passable at this time,
then they will receive a star by
their name on the class books &
will be good to go for the dairy
classes that day.
As dairy classes are called to the
ring, any dairy goats that do not
have a star by their name will
have their hair length checked before
they enter the ring for their class.
If the hair length passes, then goat
will be allowed to enter the ring
for their respective classes. If their
hair length does not pass, then goat
will be dismissed before entering the
ring, considered a scratch, & will
not be allowed to compete in that
day's dairy show.
No refunds will be given on dairy
goats that are dismissed due to impassable
hair length.
Thank you for your time &
consideration in following these JLGA Dairy
Rules.
