The club meets twice a month from February through June. “We learn the names of body parts, how to trim hooves, we watch fair videotapes, we learn how to fit for the fair, and we spend a lot of time going over worming and feeding,” said Dresch. Dr. Herr is very comfortable in the show ring, as he judges 10-15 market goat shows a year, a schedule he has kept up for many years. Besides order buying goats, Herr raises them on his “Nix Besser” farm. LEBANON AREA FAIR 4-H MARKET GOAT SHOW RESULTS Senior Fitting (age 13-18): 1. Howie Tran, 2 Brandon Gehman 3. Amber Qemberlmg.
