Carolina Classic Boer Goat Association Show Scheduled
NEWBERRY---The South Carolina Chapter of the International Boer Goat Association (SC IBGA) has scheduled their first annual Carolina Classic Boer Goat Show at the Newberry Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 22, 2002 in Newberry, SC.
The Boer goat was imported into the United States in the early 1990s. The breed was developed to provide a higher quality carcass and is a highly sought after food source for our fast growing ethnic population. A mature buck can achieve a weight of 300 pounds. Mature does can reach 200 pounds.
The statewide show will be nationally sanctioned and open to entrants from the US and Canada. All Boer Goat registries including the American Boer Goat Association, International Boer Goat Association and the Canadian Boer Goat Association will be accepted. Deadline for entering goats in the show is June 10, 2002.
The SC IBGA, a non-profit organization, invites potential sponsors to help fund facilities and pens rental, bedding for the pens, judges fees and expenses, trophies, ribbons, cash awards, and printing expenses. Sponsorships include: Platinum-$500; Gold-$250; Silver-$100; and Bronze-all other donations.
