nomination rules - Nomination forms due December 31, 2020
The Ohio Dairy Goat Association All Breed Doe Futurity is a class for two-year old registered dairy goats in which the animals are entered in the class 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 Buckeye Classic Show.
To be eligible to show in the class an animal must be nominated as a kid and total fees paid with the nomination.
Nomination involves:
● Completion of the appropriate entry blank with payment of fees by the deadline.
● Nominations and total fees of $5.00 per nomination are due before December 31, 2020.
o New for Kid born in 2021: Nomination fee totals become $15.00 total with payment option of $5.00 due at time of nomination and $5.00 due as a yearling and the remaining $5.00 due prior to the show date as a 2 year old or all $15.00 at once at time of nomination.
● The fees paid when nominating the animal will be added to those paid by the other entrants for that breed to determine the purse. (The more entries in the breed the higher the purse).
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 and sex. Breeds eligible for the futurity are the following:
● Alpine
● LaMancha
● Nigerian Dwarf
● Nubian
● Oberhasli
● Saanen
● Sable
● Toggenburg
● Recorded Grade (does only)
All animals must be Ohio bred and born.
Please notify the Futurity Show Chair (Felicia Starcher) of any changes of ownership of nominated animals. Transferred does are only eligible 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 also 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 his or her 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 class. This is a class in which all futurity breed winners will compete for Best-In-State. (No premiums will be given out for this but an award will be given at the ODGA Conference).
Winners of the futurity shows will be listed in the newsletter and 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.
