  5.  All animals must be of weaning age. Does can compete in only one category described below.
  6.  here will be four divisions shown. A market goat division is for wether or doe kids raised for slaughter. All ani-mals  must have their kid teeth to show in this division. A commercial doe kid division is for doe kids that are raised for  replacement breeding animals and must have all of their milk teeth to compete in this division. A commercial yearling  doe division is for does raised as replacement breeding does that have lost any milk teeth but have no more than two sets  of adult teeth. A registered doe division is for any registered doe of any meat breed.
