    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Pet Collars
    • Grooming Brush
    • Lead Ropes
      • 1

        Make sure your goat is clean and ready to show.

      • 2

        Dress in clean, wrinkle-free clothes. Check with fair officials about a dress code.

      • 3

        Use a chain collar to show your goat. A chain-type dog collar works well.

      • 4

        Walk slowly in the ring. Do not crowd the goat in front of you.

      • 5

        Watch the judge at all times. He or she will tell you what to do and may ask you questions about your goat.

      • 6

        Keep your goat between you and the judge. This positioning allows the judge to see the goat clearly.

      • 7

        Show respect by saying "Yes, Sir" or "Yes, Ma'am."

      • 8

        Shake the judge's hand and say "Thank you" when the judging is complete. You may see the same judge at your next show.

    Tips & Warnings

    • In the Showmanship class, you are on show just as much as your goat is.
