DAIRY GOAT DEPARTMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS

1.	Each show, Junior Doe and Senior Doe, is sanctioned separately by the American Dairy Goat Association and their rules shall govern in conjunction with The South Carolina State Fair General Rules and Regulations.
2.	ELIGIBILITY - Only American Dairy Goat Association and American Goat Society registered, recorded or applied-for animals may be shown. This show is sanctioned by ADGA for the following breeds: Alpine, LaMancha, Nigerian Dwarf, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Toggenburg and Recorded Grade. The animals will be shown in alphabetical order.
3.	ENTRY REGISTRATION: Entries may be registered using either the Online Entry System at http://www.scstatefair.org or on 2008 Official SC State Fair Dairy Goat entry form (or copy) and postal mailed to Dairy Goat Superintendent, Mr. Jeff Mahaffey, 2645 N. Rocky River Road, Lancaster SC 29720 to be received during the Entry Registration Periods. Late entries and substitutions will not be allowed. NEW IN 2008: Online entries may include entries for both shows at time of entry registration. Exhibitors submitting a mailed entry registration form may include entries for both shows but must complete the Division field with JD for Junior Doe and SD for Senior Doe. Also, Section and Class numbers have changed from past years. Please refer to the Online Premium Guide for updated information.
4.	ENTRY FEES: An Exhibitor Pass ($5.00) and $2.00 per pen must be received at time of Open Entry Registration. LATE ENTRY FEES: $25.00 per exhibitor will be charged for entries received during the Late Entry Registration Period.
5.	PEN SIZE is approximately 4' x 8'. The number of pens is limited; therefore, no tack pens will be available.
6.	PASSES & PARKING: Each Exhibitor is required to purchase an Exhibitor Pass ($5.00) at time of entry registration. This pass will be mailed to the Exhibitor prior to the show and will provide entry to the Fairgrounds at Gate 1 on Rosewood Drive for one (1) animal-towing vehicle and all passengers in the vehicle. Exhibitors should park in the Exhibitors Parking area inside Gate 1 using non-numbered spaces. Vehicles not towing animals must park at Gate 6 where a gate admission ticket will be required.
7.	CARE OF ANIMALS - The Exhibitor must furnish feed for his animals. Bedding will be furnished by the Fair. Pens will be cleaned after completion of the Sheep Show and fresh bedding put down. This method meets with the approval of the State Veterinarian. Water will be available at no cost to the exhibitor.
8.	HEALTH RULES - South Carolina Health Rules will prevail. All goats must be covered by a Health Certificate issued within thirty (30) days of the Show date by a licensed and accredited veterinarian, certifying the animals to be free of symptoms of contagious, infectious, or communicable diseases. Unless the goats originate from a Certified-Accredited Herd, the Health Certificate must also indicate that all goats older than six (6) months on the Show date have been tested and found to be free of TB and Brucellosis. The Health Certificate and Certification-Accreditation papers will be checked by a member of the Show Committee as the animals are unloaded. All goats must be identified on these papers by both name and tattoo number. No goat will be allowed to offload if it is not properly identified on the on the Health Papers at the time they are checked. Ill animals will be retained in isolation until released by the Show Veterinarian. In cases of dispute, the decision of the show committee will be final. USDA REQUIREMENTS -- Goats for show and/or exhibition will be required to be identified to the farm or origin (birth). The veterinarian writing and issuing the CVI (health certificate) will be responsible for including the identification for each animal on the certificate.
9.	ANIMAL REGISTRATION PAPERS are required on all animals six (6) months of age or older. Duplicates of applications for registration stamped by the ADGA office will be accepted on animals under six (6) months of age. No copies of the registration certificate or the stamped duplicate application, telegrams or phone calls will be accepted in lieu of the original papers. The Base Date for computing ages is October 19, 2008. No horned animals will be allowed. No dogs or other possible disturbing influences are allowed in the vicinity of the Show premises. There will be no pre-show milk-out.
10.	CLASS CODES - Check all class codes carefully. Incorrect entries, i.e. animals entered in the wrong classes, will not be changed at the show. If the Superintendent suspects an incorrect entry, it will be returned to the exhibitor for correction. The corrected entry form must be received by the Superintendent by Noon of the last day of the Entry Registration Period to avoid late fees.
11.	CHECK-IN must be completed by 10:00 A.M. on Saturday at which time the books will close - No Exceptions! The Junior Doe Show will begin at 12 Noon with three (3) Showmanship Classes (8 years of age & under, 9-18 years of age, and 18 & over). Trophies will be awarded to the class winners. The Senior Doe Show will be held on Sunday beginning at 9:00 AM. Animals will be released at the completion of the Senior show. Animals leaving before release time without approval of show committee will forfeit prize money.
12.	GROUP CLASSES - An animal must be shown in its individual Class in order to be shown in any of the Group Classes.
