Hi Anna, well the bad news is she's probably not going to "come in season" until later Aug-Sept. as Alpines are seasonal breeders. I don't know if you can bring her into season with a vets help (ie drugs) or not. But, even if you bred her tomorrow, chances are she wouldn't freshen before this show anyway.
However, it's pretty obvious when they come into heat if you recognize the signals. Excessive tag wagging, mounting other does (or being mounted by other does), and of course they get a little, well, we'll say vocal.
Is the show limited to the goats at the school? Is any breed acceptable? It would be hard to find a registered doe in milk at this point, I'm sure. Sorry for your daughter, will she be able to show next year?
