Ohio Hills Dairy Goat Show

04/09/2026

After a lot of thought and consideration I am going to cancel the Ohio Hills show for this year. I do not feel it is best for me at this point for several reasons to take on the task of putting the show on this year. I have some other commitments close in time frame to it and I don't feel that I would be putting my best effort into it either. Thank you all for the support these past 2 years. Potentially we could do it again in the future but right now is just not the time. Thank you!

Thinking for 2026 to have a show:
The best possible weekend I could figure to have it was September 19, 2026.
Our neighboring county, Highland, has their fair the week before so I do not want to eliminate these exhibitors (I also have family plans for that weekend). The weekend after would be Delaware County fair's open show and I know a good number of folks attend it as well.
The fall show worked out better from a standpoint of not interfering with the numerous club shows we have around here in the spring/summer or even Nationals.
I am also looking for a group of folks to help me and form a real show committee. It has been a lot of work for just me to do everything and try to run a show with the bare minimum number of people helping and running it.
And cleanup. This is the biggest issue that needs addressed. I thought increasing pen fees and providing the refund incentive for cleaning your pens would be of more interest for more exhibitors, but yet again my parents and I were there for hours into the middle of the night after the show cleaning the barn.
Ross county has good rates but they don't clean up the barn, the renter is responsible for that part.
Huge thanks to those who helped this year with the different jobs and making this show happen.
If you'd be interested in joining me in putting on this show please message me.

Sept 13, 2025 the Ohio Hills show hosted the Alpines International Club District 4 Specialty Show, so I wanted to share the photos of the winners! Names are on the photos, we hosted Sr does, Jr does, and Bucks!

Perhaps the most usable prize of them all... CASH! Best in shows will receive $15 cash plus the ADGA rosettes. And don't forget to get those senior does ready for our special BEST UDDER OF BREED and BEST UDDER IN SHOW rosettes!

Just incase anyone needs the rules again. Times, show order, everything you should need is on here.
