AWARDS
The
Oberhasli Goat
Club offers its members the opportunity to recognize their outstanding
Oberhasli through the Award of Merit Program.
At the current time, there are five categories,
but this can be expanded
in the future. The requirements for each category are listed. For any
award,
the member submitting must be current with their dues.
Award

of Merit - Type (this will work just
like the All
American Awards that other clubs offer). To qualify, the owner must

application with photos and the entries will be judged by a panel of
ADGA

Each year, there will be three Awards of Merit-Type awarded;
Doeling (for dry kids under two years); Milkers; and Bucks.

as a Milker, or is awarded more than one year, only one award will be
considered for the Supreme Award of Merit.
