7. HEALTH RULES:
Health papers are required. All goats consigned for public exhibition in Florida must be accompanied by
official certificates of veterinary inspection dated not more than 90 days prior to the show/event date,
certifying animals to be free from symptoms of contagious or infectious diseases. Goats imported into
Florida must have an OCVI dated not more than 30 days prior to the date of the show/event.
Dairy goats originating from Florida (not imported) are exempt from TB/Brucellosis testing requirements.
All imported dairy goats 6 months of age or older must originate from a certified/accredited herd (with
appropriate documentation), or have verifiable, documented negative testing results recorded on the
OCVI.
The USDA Premise Identification # must appear on the health certificate. A premise ID may be
obtained by calling the USDA office at (352) 333-3120.
The specific code of the Florida Administrative Code (Chapter 5C-4.005) will be followed.
The show veterinarian has the final decision on whether animals satisfy all health requirements.
Presenting obviously unhealthy animals may, subject to the ruling of the Show Committee, result in the
entire herd’s disqualification from the show.
A veterinarian/USDA inspector will be present to inspect all goats entering the show for proper
OCVI paperwork. Please make sure you make the official inspector/ Veterinarian is aware of your
arrival before unloading animals on the grounds. Kids under 6 months of age are exempt from
OCVI requirements but need to be checked in at time of arrival.
8. LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR THEFT
The owner or custodian of property of any kind brought to the Fairgrounds; either for exhibit or for other
purposes, assumes as a condition of its admission to the grounds, all risk and/or responsibility for its loss,
damage or theft.
The Florida Dairy Goat Association, Inc., its officers, members and volunteers cannot and will not accept
responsibility and liability for any damage or injury resulting from theft, fire, the elements, accidents or
other conditions or causes; whether to exhibits, property of exhibitor, vehicles on the grounds and articles
left therein or any other property of any nature whatsoever.
9. GENERAL:
The American Dairy Goat Association registration certificate is required on all animals 6 months of age
or older. A duplicate application for registry stamped by the ADGA office is permissible for animals
under 6 months of age. The registration or stamped duplicate application must be available to the show
secretary at the time of arrival.

Dogs are not allowed at the show.
The show chairperson will designate where to dump milk at check-in.
No awards will be given to any animal in any class, if in the opinion of the judge said animal does not
meet breed standards.
Over-uddering of dairy goats is frowned upon. The judge shall have the authority to excuse animals from
the ring for removal of excess milk.
It is the responsibility of each exhibitor to properly feed, water, milk, and care for their animals. Failure
to do so will result in exhibitor’s immediate expulsion from the premises.
Please make sure your animals are correctly tattooed. Failure to do so makes your dairy goat
ineligible to receive credit for their win.
The Florida Dairy Goat Association, Inc. will use every precaution in their power to protect the animals,
but they will not be held responsible for injury, fire, theft, or otherwise.
The Show Committee shall have the authority to expel any exhibitor or any in their company for failure to
abide by these rules contained herein, or for unacceptable conduct. The exhibitor and/or any in their
company will also be prohibited from showing at this venue the following year. By application for
admission, each exhibitor and any in their company agree that they have read, understood, and will abide
by these rules and the General Rules of the FDGA (including the IAFE National Code of Show
Ring Ethics and items within the “Health Regulations” section of the General Rules).
10. RELEASE:
