Competition Information

The Australian dairy goat industry is well placed to satisfy increasing consumer demand for alternatives to cows’ milk products. As well as the industry supports a high-quality export market for stud dairy goats. Interestingly worldwide people consume more goats milk than cow’s milk.

Five breeds compete at the Perth Royal Show: Anglo Nubian, British Alpine, Nigerian Dwarf, Saanen, and Toggenburg.

The Competition is conducted in two parts:
