Goat registries use scorecards to evaluate goats that are being shown. These vary with the type of goat being evaluated. For example, out of 120 points in the Colored Angora goat scorecard, 70 points are for fleece. In the dairy goat scorecard, more focus is put on the mammary system and in meat goats, muscle development and growth have more value.

Look on the Internet or write to the registry for the breed you are interested in and request a copy of their goat scorecard online and use it to help you evaluate and learn about the ideal for that type of goat. The Colored Angora Breeders Association (CABGA) includes a sample of a judge’s scorecard on its website (www.cagba.org/scorecard.pdf).
