MONROE — An identification program for all market goats to be exhibited at the 2022 Green County Fair will be conducted on Saturday, May 7, at the Green County Fairgrounds in Monroe. Market goats will be identified between 10-11 a.m. in the south end of the show barn. Only market goats that are identified on this date will be eligible for exhibition in the market goat classes and to sell at the Green County Fair Meat Animal Auction.  

Market Wether Goats will have the Champion and Reserve Champion Wether Goat winners sell in the auction, provided they meet all auction requirements. Exhibitors will need to turn in an auction entry form by May 31, and two signed buyer cards to the Extension Green County office by June 24 to be eligible to sell in the auction. The cards will be available on-line for printing after May 1 or hard copies of the buyer cards will also be available at the Extension Green County office. 

Youth who exhibit goats will be required to complete YQCA training. If they have not already completed this training, directions on how to certify are on the Green County Extension webpage. Each individual Green County Goat Exhibitor must submit their YQCA Certificate number online when completing fair entries. Fair Entries cannot be completed without the Certificate number. Copies of the Certificate do not need to be submitted to the Extension Green County office.
