Meet the Judge: Sue Johnson, MGR

Sue Johnson has developed her livestock experience by raising, breeding, and showing Alpine Dairy goats and Boer goats over a 30 year period. For 25 of these years, she has actively guided ag youth as a Community Leader and a 4-H livestock leader, and has earned Honorary Chapter Degrees for both the Rosamond and Antelope Valley FFA groups.

For the past 12 years, she has been breeding and showing Myotonic goats. As a breeder, she always tries to learn from the critical guidance provided by those who judge her own breeder stock. With an interest in becoming a judge herself, she assisted accredited Judges for two shows in the past two years. In 2012, she was trained and certified as a Myotonic goat Judge, and had the honor of being on the judging panel for the MGR 2012 National Show in Henderson, Texas.

We are pleased that Sue has volunteered her time to Judge for the Valley of the Sun Virtual Show fundraiser. Please consider her for your next Myotonic Goat Show.

All exhibitors receive a link to their websites for the remainder of the year. What great advertising!

Photos are posted in the order in which they are received.

The Judge will not be viewing the photos prior to the judging date.

Awards through 6th place will include electronic ribbons/photos for your website

Entry fees from the virtual show will go towards helping to support the
Valley of the Sun Fainting Goat Show in Ramona, CA on October 17-18, 2014

How to Enter:

• 3 jpeg photos of your entry (front, back, and a side view - either side is fine) at least 300 dpi quality
  • No more than 3 photos can be used, so make sure that they are of sufficient quality to be judged.
  • Photos do not need to be taken at the same time. The goat's age at the time of the last photo is all that is important.
  • Name the photos with the goat's name and position (ie, jasmine side, jasmine front, jasmine rear)
• Goat's name
• Goat's birth date and date the last photo was taken (to assure that they are entered in the correct class and so that the judge can see exactly how old they are in the photo)
• Class number you are entering your goat into
• Class description you are entering your goat into
• Owning ranch's name and location
• Website address (if applicable)

Send one (1) entry per e-mail (3 photos of one goat per e-mail).
