Youth Program
As a club we think it is extremely valuable to have positive engagement in the next generation! We strongly encourage kids to join with a youth membership and get involved with their Pygmy goats. Our youth membership is for anyone under the age of 18. We have 3 youth only shows every year. One in April at the Spring Fair, one in May at Spring Into the Ring, and one in October at Octoberfest. These shows are typically held the night before the open shows begin. This gives our youth members a great opportunity to show and hopefully be successful with their animals. We also offer showmanship for all youth at all of our shows. Showmanship is when youth are being judged on how they show their animal as well as their knowledge of the Pygmy Goat breed. Showmanship is broken down into 4 age groups. This gives kids the opportunity to show against other kids their same age and hopefully their same skill level. This provides a great way for youth members to get to know one another better! Shelby Toth is the club's youth coordinator, she is eager to answer any questions families may have or help them get involved! You can reach her by email at [email protected]. We look forward to providing a positive involvement for the next generation of Pygmy goat breeders!
