Exhibitors from all over the country will be at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6-7 for a nationally recognized Myotonic and Boer Goat Show.
Amy Taylor is one of the organizers for the show. “I have a true passion for this amazing breed and wanted to give our breeders another opportunity to showcase their herds. We have Myotonic shows scattered across the country. We travel five to 10 hours from home as nothing is offered close to home. I thought it was a great opportunity to work with Travis (Hahn) when he approached me in regard to doing the show. Not only do we get to do what we love, enjoy time with our goat families, we get to share it with the community.”
Organizer Travis Hahn said, “We wanted to host the show at Coshocton, not only because it’s our home town, but also because we’re doing this show to benefit local 4-H and FFA youth. Almost all of our proceeds will be going back to help local youth and their livestock programs. We are trying to not only promote the goat industry but help our local youth. We are even hosting a completely free show for any local youth that are taking a market wether to the fair.”
Taylor also said the show is to promote and support local FFA and 4-H chapters. “Not only will they be able to present their animals in the show ring, but they will also be making great contacts with breeders from across the country who can provide them with valuable guidance.”
Shows will begin at 8:30 a.m. each morning and spectators are free. Entries will be accepted until the day of the show, and they are anticipating a minimum of 150 entries. Entries are being processed through the Showman App.
