USBGA has not really taken off in NC or the east coast for that matter and I am wondering how many of you are active members and attend shows?

Furthermore you may be able to clear up a question or three I have.

thanks!

So a question to all that are members of USBGA...do you notice a lot of differences in the judging and shows compared to ABGA? their breed standards are a bit different.

Reason I ask, I am looking into being a USBGA member and would like feedback.

thanks!

I prefer ABGA shows WAAAAY more than USBGA. They seem much more official and coordinated. I go to very few USBGA shows, but haven't loved any of them. I haven't seen a difference with the breed standards however. All the USBGA judges except 1 that I know and love seem very inconsistent and almost unsure about what they are talking about. Course I know an ABGA judge like that too... :)

If the USBGA shows weren't the closest shows to me, I wouldn't go. Just my opinion though.

USBGA seems to prefer the "improved" American with longer necks. Personally I like the old SA style a whole lot better. They carry meat on their bones.
In my opinion Boer goats are made for meat, not style. We don't eat pretty. A goat is a goat on the hook.
Though I have a few dual registered I pick & choose who goes to what & leave the big uns home when it's USBGA.

That is why i really ask...to be honest...I am considering going for the USBGA judging certification BUT i dont understand their rules at ALL.

You cant be certified as a judge for any other organization...yet they recognize other organizations papers for the goats...doesnt make any sense to me.
