We assure you that your nomination will receive
serious and thorough consideration in our selection process. The Spotlight Sale
Committee works very hard to put together a sale that is a successful and
positive experience for all parties involved – the seller, the buyer and the
dairy goat industry as a whole. Quality sells – especially where repeated
breedings of proven animals are offered as consignments. MORE DOES ARE ACCEPTED
THAN BUCKS. Proven quality on both sides of the pedigree are needed, especially

Items
to consider when nominating an animal to the Spotlight Sale:
Ø All nominees must conform
to ADGA Breed Standards, have correct and legible tattoos, be free of physical
defects, be sound and healthy, be free of CAE and abscess problems.
Ø Bucks must be born in the
current calendar year. The bucks are
also to be of virgin status, absolutely no natural service is allowed prior to
sale date. If you do collect the buck,
we request that you process no more than 30 straws. A copy of the ADGA Collection Form signed and
dated by both the processor and owner and ALL
of the straws collected must be
made available to the buyer of the animals for no more than the cost of the
collection. Should the buyer not desire
the collection the consignor retains the right to keep the semen for their own
farm use only.
Ø The committee prefers
that does be sold open (not bred). If a consignment is bred she must be accompanied
to the
Ø Consignment’s breeding activity, if any, both A.I. and
natural service, must be disclosed in writing in full specific details before
the Sale to the ADGA Spotlight Sale Co-Chairs. THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO COLLECTION OR BREEDING AT THE
Ø The accepted sale animals
are required to provide negative test results from a certified laboratory for CAE
(only the results of an ELISA test will be accepted) within 40 days of the sale
and Tuberculosis and Brucellosis tests within 30 days of the sale. NOTE: The consignment must be tested for TB
and Brucellosis even if your herd is tested and accredited TB and Brucellosis free.
A clear, concise, well-organized
presentation will aid your chances of getting your nominee accepted to the
1.
TYPED nomination forms are preferred. However, if you are unable to have your form
typed do not use blue ink, as it does not reproduce well.
2.
Give the committee the FACTS on your nominee & its
relatives. Official production records, linear appraisal scores and official
show wins help!
3.
Identify pictures of relatives of the nominee and indicate
their relationship to the nominee (i.e., maternal granddam or paternal ½
sister, etc.)
4.
Make sure any pictures you use are the best you have
available – nothing less than you would put in an ad to market your herd. We suggest using a color copier or getting
copies made of one of a kind photographs to avoid losing important materials or
photos. Many buyers appreciate being
able to keep the display boards used to represent the consignment after the
sale.
5.
Give thought to the hold prices you indicate in your packet
– high hold prices may adversely affect acceptance into the sale.
6. NEW: Consignors shall
not use photographs for the marketing/advertising of their animals in the
Spotlight
Nomination packets become the
property of the ADGA Spotlight Sale Committee.
