New England North American Cashmere Goat Show
Plans are well underway for the 2026 CGA Cashmere Goat Show! It will be held at the Adirondack Wool and Arts Festival at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Greenwich, NY on September 19-20.
CGA’s Cashmere Goat Shows are a great opportunity to show off our goats, see how they rank in comparison with other CGA goats, learn lots about assessing goat conformation and fiber, renew friendships with other goat owners, and search for the perfect buck to rent or buy in the future.
CGA Vice President Cody Sargen is organizing the show and is eager to recruit new participants. You can reach him with questions at cody.sargen55@yahoo.com and you can learn more about the festival at Sheep & Goat Show | Adkwoolandarts.
Pen judging for conformation will occur on Saturday, September 19th and the show will be held on Sunday, September 20th, starting at 10:00 am. An entry form and information on entry requirements can be found on the festival site here:
Showing goats at a CGA show is fun, a great way to learn about the goats, and not intimidating at all. You will find plenty of CGA members there happy to help with any questions. Give it a try! And please don't delay. A CVI and proof of a rabies vaccination by September 6th is required.
For advice on showing your goat and information on goat conformation, check out CGA's new Showmanship Guide.
As in prior years, CGA invites young people to make a video of themselves with their goat, talking about the goat's qualities. Ribbons will be awarded to the video creators, designating them as "Cashmere Goat Ambassadors". Details about the requirements for the video creation and submission are on our Facebook page.
