Oklahoma Youth Meat Goat Association
2006-2007

In order to accommodate all the kids in the state of Oklahoma the OYMGA is changing its format for the show season of 2006.  In January of 2007 the OYMGA will sanction and host its last show and the show will count double points. That show will be held in the Central part of the state. We will be sanctioning several shows throughout the season. Below you will find the requirements to hold a sanctioned show.

  • Each show must follow OYMGA Rules and Regulations.  If OYMGA rules are not followed the points will not count for that show/division.
     

  • Each show will be required to pay a $2.00 per head fee ($4.00 per head fee if you would like OYMGA ribbons) for show sanctioning fee. 100% of this money will go towards the youth goat showmen and the end of the year banquet and awards.
     

  • All sanctioned shows will payback at least 60% of the entry fee.
     

  • All applications and fees will be on a first come, first served basis. Show dates will be reserved when OYMGA executive secretary receives the application and certification fees.

If this should occur, the applying organization will be notified within 30 days.
