We're USBGA as well as ABGA & yes do show when possible. So far there have been two that I know of but one was only a one day at a fair so no bucks & he is the one I'd like a few more points for.
I am a USBGA member, and am becoming an ABGA member this year as well. We have not done any sanctioned shows yet. Just fairs, but are looking to start in 2014.
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.
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.
As little representation as they have in NC and the east coast in general, you would think they would welcome such ambassadors.
