Hey there!
County to county differs, along with school to school; however, there are usually monthly meets at the high school itself, where Ag teachers & volunteers will host. Actually, my first year I ever showed, we had a potluck meeting & it was a whole bunch of fun; after that particular meeting, we went outside and all of us older kids held games for the junior ffa kids.
Just like 4h, in FFA you can show rabbits, chickens, cattle, goats, sheep, and so on; I've stuck with goats (they're the best).
The first show should be a county show, somewhere around Jan-March, depending on your location; mine is the last day of Feb & the first of March. This show will be full with FFA students from all over your county.
There will then be other shows to attend, along with extra shows you can sign up for for practice. At the end, if you place, there with be an auction, where your daughter can make a bit of money.
Of course, the better you are at choosing a goat, raising a goat, training, showing, and grooming, the more likely you are to place & sell. If your daughter does her research, tries her best, and has fun, she'll probably be successful at the auction.
Your daughter will have a lot of fun! Good luck to you both! I'm sorry if any of this info is incorrect because of your location. Remember to read show rules before entering & showing.
