When it comes to these members exhibiting goats at the fair, they had to attend a few things prior to being able to exhibit. The exhibitors had to go through quality assurance which is required in the state of Ohio. Quality assurance teaches the members how to take properly care for their projects.
Then, exhibitors had to come to tag in day at the fairgrounds which was held on the first Saturday in June. The exhibitors were then expected to tag the animals at home and take pictures and fill out all the information about the animals identification and turn it back into the office by June 15.
On July 15, the exhibitors came to the fairgrounds for entry day to enter their projects for the fair. The goats moved into the fair on Saturday, Sept. 3, then weighed in at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The goat showmanship was held on Sept. 5 starting at 9 a.m. The Hillsboro FFA members that participated in showmanship were: Gracie placed 2nd, Taylor placed 4th, Chloe placed 2nd, and Kyah placed 2nd.
The county bred and born show was held as well on Monday, this show is where all the exhibitors that exhibit livestock that were born and raised in the county can show against each other and it gives the breeders of the goats recognition too. In county bred and born, Gracie Thoroman placed 2nd and 3rd. Taylor placed 3rd, and Chloe placed 3rd. For the boer goat show, Gracie placed 1st in both of her weight classes, reserve heavyweight champion, and 6th overall market wether, Taylor placed 3rd, Chloe placed 7th in her weight class, and Kyah also exhibited in the market show.
Congratulations to these exhibitors.
