Over the past few years, the dairy goat section has been growing steadly with an average of about 36 entries in the last 3 years. Several Champion & Reserve Champion exhibits have taken out Supreme Dairy Goat at the Royal Shows in recent years. Even the Supreme Livestock Exhibit at the 2011 MacKenzie Highland A & P Show was a Champion at an Ashburton Show. If you have an interest in exhibiting your dairy goats, Ashburton Show is an excellent venue to compete.
