OWNERSHIP
The goat, be it now living or dead, must have been owned by the entrant at the time the photo was taken.

No association registration is required or asked for.
RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the entrant to insure that information on the entry form is correct prior to submission.
DETERMINATION OF AGE
The age of the goat at the time the photo was taken is the correct age group for that entry.
REJECTION / DELETION OF ENTRIES:
Applies to entries waiting for a class, awaiting judging, or placed. The entrant may or may not be notified of the deletion. Rejection and or deletion is at the sole discretion of the show host. Any award assigned to a rejected or deleted entry will be forfeit.
DUPLICATE ENTRIES: Second and subsequent entries of the same goat or the same photo during one season regardless of the division-age entered will be deleted when discovered.
Email immediately if you accidentally submit a duplicate entry. Include the division and age group, goat ID/number/tag, your name, and the date & approximate time of the duplicate entry.
I may or may not monitor entries for duplicates. Entrants are encouraged to notify me if they notice a duplicate entry.
INCORRECT DIVISION or AGE: the photo does not match the sex or age on the entry form. A 3 month old doe will not be competitive in a 24-36 month buck class.
OWNER or FITTER IDENTIFIED: farm signs or other identifying items or persons are in the photo. The judges want to evaluate the goat without knowing who owns it.
OBVIOUS WINNER: awards are in the photo with the goat. The judge doesn't want to know what some other judge thought of your goat.
ATTEMPTED BIAS: entrant contacts the judge about their entry before the class is placed.
ALTERED PHOTO: If the photo has been altered in any way to change the shape, color, or characteristics of the goat the entry will be deleted and the entrant's farm & family will be PERMANENTLY BARRED FROM THE ONLINE SHOW.
IMPROPER GOAT ID: This is not a sale barn. Do not include "For Sale" or anything like that on the entry form.
INCORRECT ENTRY/OWNERSHIP: entrant claims ownership of someone else's goat or enters a photo using someone else's name and/or address. The entrant's farm & family will be PERMANENTLY BARRED FROM THE ONLINE SHOW.
CLASS PLACING:
Entries will be placed by the judge according to their relative quality in each class.
The judge might mark an entry "Not Placed" if:
Photo quality does not allow judging.
Goat is too far away or is too small in the photo to be judged.
Photo includes more than one goat and the judge cannot determine which goat was the intended entry.
Goat is of such poor quality that it would be removed from the ring in a live show.
Any of the reasons for deletion, above, exist.
RELEASE:
You must consider all entries that you submit to be "Open To The Public".
Entrant releases KLS Boer Goats, the show host, judges, sponsors, and advertisers of responsibility of any damages, monetary or otherwise, associated with a submitted entry.

DIVISIONS:
Bucks - Open to all intact male goats regardless of breed. Judging terms such as "breed character" and "adherence to breed standard" are applicable - the Boer goat is, at this time, the meat goat standard. If another goat breed should rise to pre-eminence then the "breed character" definition of that breed will be used.
Boer Does - was Fullblood Does - Open to all female goats showing strong Boer influence. These Does are expected to produce breed standard and production quality kids. Terms such as "breed character" might be used in the judging for the same reasons as stated in the buck paragraph above.
Production Does - was Percentage Does - Open to all female goats regardless of breed. Production does are expected to produce production and market kids. Terms such as "breed character" will be avoided when describing goats in this division.
Market Goats - was Wethers - Open to all show wethers and market quality goats, bucklings, does, & wethers, under 12 months of age. Terms such as "breed character" will be avoided when describing goats in this division.

Judged entries: on the Judged Classes page.

AWARDS / RECOGNITION:
