This year will be the third year with market goats at my county fair. We are having a hard time setting realist weight requirements... I am hoping to hear about what other county fairs and any other market goat shows weight requirements are. Our rules last year were that the goats had to be born after January 1st. Most of us that were raising market goats for this specific project kidded around the end of January through the beginning of February. At the initial weigh in on June 14 the goats had to be a minimum weight of 35 pounds and could not exceed 65 pounds. 59 days later we weighed in at the fair and the goats had to weigh at least 50 pounds with no maximum and meet an average daily gain of .35 pounds... None of the 8 market goats met that. We will be having a meeting to revise these rules for next year so I am just looking to see what other county's and states are doing.
