WHAT IS THE FUTURITY?
The Ohio Dairy Goat Association All Breed Doe Futurity is a class for two-year old registered dairy goats in which the animals are nominated in the year of their birth and compete in the 2 year old class at the Annual Buckeye Classic Show. Premiums are paid as determined by the number of does nominated and their placing in their respective breed class.
WHY SHOULD I NOMINATE MY DOES?
Competitors can highlight their breeding program showing stock they have produced. Premiums are paid to winners in each breed and a Best In State Award is awarded for the overall Futurity Doe at the Fall Conference or Fall Member Meeting.
HOW DO I NOMINATE MY DOES?
Doe kids can be nominated by completing the Jotform below or by downloading the nomination form and sending payment by check to the Futurity Chairperson or by PayPal. The nomination fee is $15 per animal. If a nominated doe is sold, she may be shown and compete at the Buckeye Classic Show with the new owner as a two year old Futurity doe.

ALL BREED DOE FUTURITY RULES
(As of 10/2021 meeting)
The Ohio Dairy Goat Association All Breed Doe Futurity is a class for two-year old registered dairy goats in which the animals are nominated in the year of their birth, when they are kids. The show futurity is managed by The Ohio Dairy Goat Association and held annually in conjunction with the ODGA Buckeye Classic Show.
To be eligible to show in the class the doe must be nominated as a kid and total fees paid at time of nomination.
Nomination involves:
The purse in each breed will be divided as follows:
● 1st Place 40%
● 2nd Place 30%
● 3rd Place 20%
Ten percent (10%) of all nomination fees will be placed in an expense fund (awards, postage, forms, etc.). Nominated animals will be divided into different classes based upon breed (sanctioned breeds therefore AOP is possible). Breeds eligible for the futurity are the following:
● Alpine
● LaMancha
● Nigerian Dwarf
● Nubian
● Oberhasli
● Saanen
● Sable
● Toggenburg
● Guernsey
● Recorded Grade
Nominated animals will be divided into different classes based upon breed (sanctioned breeds therefore AOP is possible). In the event the Ohio Buckeye Classic Show Chair/Show Committee opts to combine breeds into an AOP class, pay out for Futurity will still be based on breed, therefore all breeds will still be separately paid out.
All animals must be Ohio bred, born & raised.
Please notify the Futurity Show Chair of any changes of ownership of nominated animals. Transferred does are only eligible to compete for Futurity if transferred to a resident of Ohio.
In keeping with the goal of identifying superior goats bred in Ohio, it is no longer a requirement that the exhibitor be an ODGA member.
It will be explained to the judge of the class that at no time do animals win by default because they are the only entry or one of the few entries. It must be the judge’s opinion that the animal is a worthy representative of their breed. If the judge does not feel there is an animal worthy of first place, then a second and third place premium can be awarded and first place withheld.
There will be a Best-In-State Futurity Doe class held at the conclusion of the ADGA Sanctioned show. This is a class in which all Futurity Breed Winners will compete for Best-In-State. (No additional premiums will be given for this, but an award will be presented at the ODGA Conference or fall Annual Meeting).
Winners of Futurity Awards will be listed on web page of The Ohio Dairy Goat Association. An award presentation will be conducted at the association’s annual conference awards program or at the annual membership meeting of The Ohio Dairy Goat Association. All 1st place animals will be made available for photo upon the request of The Ohio Dairy Goat Association for publicity use. Such photos will remain the property of The Ohio Dairy Goat Association for history and future publications.
