I would like to show my nubian buck

[Youngfarmer2019]

My Nubian buck Misty Creek Farm Blue Bayou is built very nicely, while I dont think he would bring home any ribbons or place at all I would like to experience showing and he is the best I have right now (I technically could show my reg. doe but she doesnt walk as nicely on a lead) The only problem is, i cant find any buck shows AT ALL in NC. Wrong time of year maybe? i need some help finding a couple shows I could take him to and what to expect from showing as I have ZERO experience with it.

The only buck shows will be at ADGA open shows but not all of them will have buck classes. To find buck classes at shows go online to ADGA and search for shows. Usually the only buck shows will be offered by larger clubs (and usually will offer buck classes only if a member(s) or friends want to put championships on their own bucks).

I'll just leave this here. I'm on limited Internet right now, but I think the info you seek either IS on this page or will be next year.

There's also a "Buck Wild" show in TN in Octoberish and a "Son-of-a-Buck" show in Virginia.
Normally we prove our buck through our does. Buck shows are more for fun...I'm not sure who thinks it's fun to have a mass gathering of stinky spitting bucks, often in rut, but some people do. There are ADGA fb groups for people who like shows and show dynamics and politics. Each has it's issues but try "ADGA district 3" as well as "ADGA district III".

Finding buck shows in NC can be a bit challenging, but you can try reaching out to local livestock or goat clubs for event info. As for showing, make sure your buck is well-groomed, healthy, and trained to walk on a lead. It's a learning experience, so don't worry too much about winning ribbons.

Bucks are necessary -- 😂 -- but most are busy working and it does limit shows and attendance.

Buck shows usually take place after January when most bucks are out of rut. They are easier to handle then, and you can wash, clip, and trim them. Out of rut the odor is not so bad. No one wants to be around a bunch of bucks in rut due to the stink and they will bawl at the does, who will scream back. Too stinky, and headache making. Look for shows starting in March.
