What is the difference between a 2 ring show and a 1 ring show???

[GriffinRidgeFarm]

I am planning to go to a dairy goat show in April, but I don't know what a 2 ring show is???

It means that there will be 2 rings with different judges. So you basically have 2 shows.

Two rings allows more animals to be judged in a faster time. Good if the
classes have large numbers, so you don't end up STILL showing into the evening.
Can get exciting if you have some classes (different breeds) in BOTH rings near the same
time. You will want to talk to the Entry Booth folks ahead, ask what can be done
about the conflict. MOST shows will try to be accomodating if possible.

One ring shows are less expensive to put on for groups, only one Judge to pay, but can
take a longer time to get thru the list of classes. Have to give everyone a fair look.

They do two ring shows if it is going to be a large show.

In ring one they show Nigerians, Lamanchas Saaneens and Nubians.

In ring two theys show Alpines, Oberhaslis, Toggenburgs, and Recorded Grades.

The breeds I just sited are just an example, your shows could be different.

Two completely seperate ADAGA sanctioned shows.

That's what they do at N.C. State fair because its a huge show, and it takes forever.

That is almost the way we do it at our shows, but not quite

Barred Rock Mamma has it right, as least where I am at.

"It means that there will be 2 rings with different judges. So you basically have 2 shows."

Our dairy group sponsors a 4 ring show, every goat, regardlee of breed is seen by 4 different judges throughout the day. They can win under each judge, so your goat could walk away with 4 wins for that one day. There is a best of show award and best of breed where the winners under each judge are judged as a group. It is considered one show.

Our goats stay in their ring for the day and the judges come to them. They call it a round robin format. Sometimes there is some waiting if one judge is quicker than another, but we always accomodate the breeders if they get held up. It is a cheap way to basically get to be in 4 shows in one day and get 4 wins. It in interesting to see and hear what some judges like and some don't as far as what makes a good goat. Good education.

We charge around 20.00 to show a goat under all the judges.

That's interesting, never seen a show like that.

Up until last year, they just did one show, one ring at N.C. State Fair. Didn't finish the show until after 9pm.

Last year they divided into two show, with two judges, and split the breeds into two groups. Big time saver for a large event.

We do a showmanship show in the morning and then a Sr. Doe and Jr. Doe show, and then a buck show. Then on Sunday they do another Sr. Doe show. It is a very busy weekend with all dairy breeds being sanctioned. They have been doing this show for over 20 years. I don't show much so I don't know if this is common or not, but I was responsible for maintaing the club's website and posting all the show detials so I am very familar with the way this show is run. It seems to work well.

We're going to our first "more than one ring" show later this month- and it's 3 ring! It will be interesting to see how it goes. I"m glad it's not our first show and that we only have 3 goats. Of coarse, they are all different breeds (LM, RG, ND) so it could still get interesting. Maybe I should wear show dress just in case. My daughter usually shows them all since they are hers.

Our show is very good about "finding" exhibitors that are in another ring, but having multiple breeds could make it a challenge. It is very likely that she will have to be in more than one ring at the same time. I would pack my show clothes.

Yeah, we can fight over who has to show the ND.

I wonder if there's a rule against showing with a baby in a back carrier? Lol. I could wear my black one and make sure he's in white and black with his closed toe shoes on. My hubby should be there, but sometimes we go to shows without him. Someone has to pay for the "farm," quite literally! The one show is doing something new this year: adult showmanship. The kids are all very excited.
