ADGA-sanctioned Dairy Goat Shows on the East Coast
**many of the below-listed shows were cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic; we are leaving this list up for reference, because most of these shows are annual events. The show locations, approximate dates, and contacts may be the same going forward in the future--so this may serve as a reference/list of shows to look for in upcoming years, especially if you're new to showing. We will create a new list for 2021 as information becomes available.**
Below is a list of dairy goat shows, sanctioned by ADGA, for 2020. This list is limited to states on the east coast, and may not be complete (feel free to contact us if we're missing any. We're happy to add to the list). We'll do our best to add information, links, etc., as they become available.
