Any
doe is eligible for the Futurity provided she qualifies under the following:
ELIGIBILITY
1. Open
to all Myotonic Goat Registry (MGR) or International Fainting Goat Association
(IFGA) registered does.
A copy of the registration papers must accompany the
nominee application.
2. Nominations
may only be made by the current owner of the doe, whether bred by the owner
or purchased from
another breeder.
3. Any
number of does may be nominated by an owner.
4. Following
initial nomination, any doe sold remains eligible regardless of ownership
provided that subsequent yearly
re-nomination payments are made and the
Futurity has been notified of transfer of ownership.
5. Does
may be nominated at any time after the breeding date and before the kidding date. When a nominated doe kids, all female offspring are eligible for completion as long as
the doe was nominated BEFORE the doeling was born.
6. Doelings from nominated does are eligible to compete in futurity classes until she has freshened or reaches the age of one day less than 24 months provided that subsequent yearly re-nomination payments are made by the owner of the doe.
7. If the nomination of the doe is not renewed, causing the doeling (now a yearling) to no longer be eligible to compete in futurity classes, then the owner of the doeling/yearling will be given the opportunity to pay the nomination fee in order to keep the doeling/yearling eligible until she either freshens or reaches the age of one day less than 24 months. If the doeling/yearling is nominated, her doelings will be eligible to compete as long as she kids within that year.
8. No refunds will be made for any reason. The responsibility of re-nomination rests solely with the current owner.
If the nomination is not continued, previously submitted monies are relinquished by the owner.

Judging
The
judging of nominated doelings/does will be conducted in separate age classes
at the conclusion of the Sanctioned classes of participating shows. The
futurity classes are not part of the sanctioned show. The doe’s birthday or
point status will not prevent her from showing in the Futurity classes.
Judges
Judges are not asked to anticipate what the doelings/does
will look like in the future. Instead, they are asked to judge the doelings/does
based on the quality of their confirmation and structure for their age,
while staying within the breed standards and focusing on herd conformation
and structure.
PAYOUT
The payout will be announced after entries have been
received and will be awarded at the completion of the show.
