Show Rules
This event is designed for adults/students with a permanent physical or intellectual disability (documented by an Individual Education Plan while in school), who are interested in participating in a livestock show.
These adults/students will be paired with a 2024 4-H or FFA member who has experience showing animals at a competitive level and will be considered a Buddy. The Buddy and the Adult/student Exhibitor will work
together to be able to walk his/her goat in the show ring for judging. The adult/student Exhibitor and their Buddy will work together, so everyone is comfortable with the judging process. Through this competition, Exhibitors will also learn goat facts so that they can answer questions posed by the judge.
There will be two MANDATORY practices for the participants and their buddies:
These two practices will be held at Yulee High School
1. Saturday September 21st at 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
2. Sunday, October 6th at 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
On the day of the show, both the Exhibitors and their Buddies will be expected to wear long pants, their Goat Pals t-shirt, and close-toed shoes in the show ring.
The t-shirt will be provided prior to the show date.
