IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT PRE-REGISTRATION
Pre-registration
is not required, however it does cut
your wait time at the Check-in table
& helps your Show Secretary with
completion of show registration books day
of the show &
this in turns helps not to delay
the start of the show.
In order to encourage Pre-registration -
We will have a drawing at each
show from all
youth that were pre-registered & entered
a goat in at least one JLGA class.
(This does not include youth who are
only participating in the Newbie or PeeWee
Showmanship Classes.)
One winner will be drawn at each show.
COME
ON GET THOSE PRE-REGISTERS IN - HELP
OUT YOUR SHOW SECRETARY - GET THE
SHOW ROLLING!

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 2". ALL DAIRY GOATS
ENTERED INTO ANY JLGA SHOW ARE SUBJECT
TO HAIR CHECKS. 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.
Thank you for your time &
consideration in following these JLGA Dairy
Rules.

2012
SHOW ORDER WILL BE ROTATED
To be fair to all exhibitors
& give everyone an opportunity to show
early & get back on the road home,
classes will again be rotated this year.
This worked out great for 2011 &
we greatly appreciate everyone's cooperation
in the matter. The shows will always
start with Showmanship
followed by Market, then rest of
classes will rotate from show to show.
Keeping like classes together.
REGARDING DAIRY
GOATS FOR THE 2012 JLGA SHOW SEASON
Once again during milking
season, on a show by show basis,
we will move the dairy classes to
the start of the show in order
for those goats
to be show uttered up & then
milked out as soon as class is
complete. If there are no does in
milk that require milking, they classes
will remain where they are in that
days lineup. Also at the judges request Dairy
Bucks will immediately follow the Dairy Does
so the
judges will still be in the dairy
mindset. The rest of the show order
will resume as scheduled. This worked
out well in 2011 &
appreciate everyone cooperation in this matter.

JLGA SHOW SEASON
SCHEDULED DATES PAST - PRESENT - FUTURE
At the 2009 JLGA Fall General
Membership Meeting the membership voted to
have a set schedule from year so
that they could
plan things accordingly like vacations etc.
- They also voted to not show
during the summer months any longer
due to the heat
& stress on the larger show goats,
also sitting out the summer months
would mean that our shows would not interfere
with the
LJSC Market Summer Show Circuit - The
2010 Show Season Dates were set in
late December 2009 & early January 2010
These dates were going well & the
general consensus was to stay with
2010 show dates from year to year
Unforeseen circumstances may come up &
then dates & locations may have to
be changed if possible, however
from year to year the JLGA Show
Personnel will strive to stay along
the dates the memberships voted on in
2009
