Goat Shows getting bigger; new market category added
This year’s Goat shows are even bigger than last years, and hopefully the trend will continue.
In recent years, participation in the Goat Shows at the Oneida County Fair has increased. In addition to the Showmanship and Quality classes, this year a Market animal category was added, which adds a new dimension to the representation of goats in the fair. The winners of the Market class will be added in to the other sales on Saturday, leading to further variety for what is available for purchase, and the potential for more kids to sell more animals. Because the goat shows involved a number of kids, classes, and tabulation we are not able to fit them in to this week’s issue, but will provide a full account next week, along with beef, swine, sheep, rabbits and poultry. Stay tuned!
