Welcome to the Indiana MGR sanction show.
The 2011, fifth annual Stiff Competition and Myotonic Mayhem shows are held at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Franklin, Indiana. These two (2) shows are sanctioned by the Myotonic Goat Registry and are attended by Myotonic breeders, from as far away as MS, TX., bringing with them over 100+ goats . Each show is judged by a different judge, giving each exhibitor 2 shows to compete in and to earn points towards Permanent Championships.
There are several sanctioned shows held throughout the U.S.A. You can go to the MGR website for information on upcoming shows at www.myotonicgoatregistry.net
Fun, Family, Friendship and Fainters
Friends meet yearly at these sanctioned shows for a fun time of competition. You will find adults, children and grandparents all helping and working together. We have several team volunteers that help run the show . We THANK our volunteers as they also make the show "happen".
Between the sanctioned shows there is time to discuss the Myotonic/Fainter goat breed with the breeders attending the show. This is a time for everyone to relax, fuel-up for the next show, and to talk goats. That is what we do best!
Along with showing the Myotonic, you will find, there will be several breeders who are selling under a private treaty. This is usually a great time to see what other breeders are accomplishing with their herds and to find new genetics for your herd. Whether you are interested in buying for new genetics or are looking for a pet goat, coming to the shows allows you to talk with the breeders.
