Helpful Hints:   

  • Work with someone else when taking your pictures.
  • Be aware of your background and lighting. A black goat with a black background doesn’t  work.
  • You may have the class, registration # or birth date in your pictures but DO NOT put your name or your goat’s name! This may identify the animal.
  • Your goat should be the main focus of the picture and cover as much of the frame as possible.
  • Make sure your picture is in focus.
  1. Judges opinions are not up for debate. Civil comments and concerns are allowed but places will not be changed and harassment will not be tolerated.
  2. While this is not an N.P.J.A. sanctioned show, the official breed standards are followed for each section.
  3. All entries MUST include required information – class (Wether, Junior Doe or Senior Doe), name of goat, registration number, birth date on the entry form on www.cloverdalecitrusfair.org
  4. A photo of the animal’s registration paperwork will need to be uploaded at the time that the animal’s photos are submitted during the entry process.
