Welcome to our Neighborhood
We are a group of Boer Goat and Meat Goat enthusiasts, exhibitors and producers who have organized to serve, support, and advance the meat goat industry in Indiana, as well as promote and support youth activities within our industry.
Our goal is to bring Indiana's meat goat producers and others interested in learning about and supporting the goat industry together. We believe that by working together we can be more effective in our individual marketing endeavors as well as provide support and educational opportunities for the young eshibitors and producers within the meat goat neighborhood.

Research has shown that youngsters who are involved in projects such as the ones we support are less likely to indulge in the self-destructive behavior prevalent in today's society. We believe that by offering these kinds of activities we can offer support to the kids and their families who would like to learn more about livestock in general, and the Boer goat. Our goal is to provide educational opportunities in a fun environment that will shape the attitudes and behavior of our exhibitors throughout their lives. To that end we do our best to keep our junior shows non-political and encourage the practice of good showmanship and respect for our partners, both four and two legged, in the showring.

All shows in the series are eligible for Juniors to earn points for the Points Awards Programs. Junior exhibitors must be either members or belong to a family membership. The locations of the Summer Series shows are spread throughout the state, and all junior exhibitors are be eligible to complete in the Points Award program.
Dates and locations of the shows can be found on our Show Information page. Entry forms for shows are available under the SHOW INFORMATION MENU. Pictures of winners are also available on this site on the Show Results pages.
In addition to sponsoring fullblood doe and buck, and percentage doe breeding stock goat shows for exhibitors and goat producers within the goat industry, we sponsor meat goat wether and breeding stock doe shows for youth exhibitors. While show ring activities are a main focus of the Boer Goat Classic, we also provide information about the meat goat events happening in the midwest, and and links to other sites related to the boer goat and meat goat world. We conduct educational programs for juniors at selected shows, as well as other educational events throughout the year.
