​Indigenous to Europe and Africa, goats are a species that are also popular livestock projects. Today, there are countless breeds of goats all around the world, each unique in their own ways. Though the fact that goat meat is nearly the widest consumed meat in the world is little known by those in North America, goats have been a staple of agriculture for ages. Not only can a goat provide hearty red meat for eating, many can also be kept as milkers, can be raised for fiber and to provide offspring for further production. The U.S. is now home to countless numbers of goats and goat operations, concentrated in Texas and in the Midwest, but found throughout the country.

Three categories for goat shows exist: Boer, dairy and pygmy. Boer goat shows are for Boer, or "meat" goats, commonly with classes for both fullblood and percentage breeding does and breeding bucks, and also for market wethers that are judged on meat production characteristics. Dairy goat shows, for goats of the Alpine, LaMancha, Saanen, Nubian, Oberhalsi, Toggenburg and Nigerian Dwarf breeds, are judged on breed characteristics and milking abilities for breeding does and sometimes bucks. Finally, pygmy or "dwarf" goat shows are held specifically for pygmy goats of African descent, judged on breed characteristics. Some shows are solely for a single type of goat, while others have classes for multiple types. Some shows require animals to be registered, and can be used for recognition within national goat organizations, such as the ABGA and ADGA. Listed here are shows open to all youth across the state, unless otherwise noted. Only shows located in Florida are seen here, for more information on national level shows, visit our friends at the American Boer Goat Association, American Dairy Goat Association and National Pygmy Goat Association.
