KYMGA 2010 RECORD SHEET RULES
Record Sheets start from:
October 1, 2009 until September 30, 2010.
New For 2010 promotional work will count towards your record sheet. You must have pictures of your promotional work... It must be goat related... You must be promoting KYMGA.....
Keep track of the goat shows that you show at as well. You may show a doe or buck that is in your family/farm name, but the KYMGA member must show the animal. The only exception to this rule is if you have two or more goats in the same class. Please note if you have more than one child showing from the same family in the same class they can only count the animal they are showing. You cannot put the animal down on two different record sheets. Remember if someone else shows your animal you must get their signiture and address.
Make sure to check the boxes that apply and put your placings down. If there is not a placing put you will not earn your full points.
Please note that you need to put down the mins./hours that you do promotioanl work on your record sheets. You will not get your full points if you do not put down the mins./hours.
Please state if you go out of state and show goats.
I do check to see if you have had the show offical sign your forms and if you really did show at the show you said you did. Remember that honesty pays off.
If you have questions please email me.
Prizes to be announced at a later date.
The KMGA and KYMGA Officers have the authority to change any rules and/or regulations or as the need arises.
