Show Sanctioning Information
The MSFGA encourages the promotion of Mini Silkies through MSFGA sanctioned Mini Silky Shows. This page will provide information, forms and requirements for putting on an MSFGA sanctioned show in your area.
To put on a show in your area, you will need to find a facility that will allow goats to be exhibited. The size of the facility that you need will depend on how many Mini Silkies are in your area and what you expect the turn out to be. Some shows are offered as a one day only show and exhibitors show out of their trailers thus eliminating the need for pens and stalls. Other shows are quite large and may decide to seek out a facility that can provide pens or stalls for exhibitors to hold their animals in. Shows that are put on in larger facilities that offer pens or stalls may consider doing a two day show offering multple shows in a weekend with multiple judges and sets of Champions. This may be attractive to folks living outside of the area and may encourage participation from exhibitors from several surrounding states. Some shows may be held in conjunction with county or state fairs, local exhibitions or other events. In that case, coordination would be needed with those putting on these events.
Once you have secured a location for your show, you will need to choose a date, find a judge and apply for MSFGA sanctioning for your show. Show management must submit an Application for MSFGA Show Sanctioning to the MSFGA office at least 60 days prior to the proposed show date. MSFGA will approve the application, taking into account any conflict of dates or proximity with other sanctioning applications or approved shows.
Eventually, we will have a pool of certified MSFGA judges. However, at present, we don't have certified judges, so you will need to seek out someone who is interested in judging your show. The person that you choose will need to study the MSFGA Standard, the visual Standard, which you can obtain from the MSFGA office, and score sheet and then sign and date a Judge's Agreement form which will be submitted to the MSFGA office to complete your show's sanctioning. If the sanctioning is approved, then you are all set to hold your show.
After your show is over, keep in mind that your show isn't really over until you have filled out the Show Report, signed and dated it and mailed it back to the MSFGA office along with the other show documentation required. . The show Report must be filled out, signed by Show Management and sent to MSFGA, along with the other show documentation within 14 days after the sanctioned show has occurred. Failure to send in the required documentation and records within 14 days of the show may result in loosing the sanctioned status of the show.
If your show gets sanctioning from MSFGA, it will then be listed on the Upcoming Shows page with location, date and contact information. Below are Rules and forms for sanctioning applications.
