No maximum weight.  Goats will be weighed upon check-in with classes being formed into three weight divisions-light, medium and heavy weight.  Buckles will be awarded to the overall champion in each of those three divisions.

Exhibitor can only briefly touch their animal with their body and can not use the chain/collar to make their animal tense their muscles. Superintendent has the right to disqualify violators.
