The ADGA Spotlight Sale Committee is soliciting nominations for the 2008 Spotlight Sale that will be held in Rohnert Park, California on Saturday, October 18, 2008.   The Spotlight Sale is a unique opportunity to accentuate the accomplishments you have made with your herd.   Animals selected are of the highest quality available. Using official DHIR, Linear Appraisal, and show records, the Committee looks for dairy goats that excel in all categories.   Nominate your very best to generate interest that will ultimately reflect on your entire herd.

The Sale attracts buyers from throughout the United States.   Many times these individuals, whether successful bidders or not at the actual Sale, purchase additional breeding stock from consignor's herds.   The buyers want top quality, performance proven, sound and healthy dairy goats.  The value of your herd's advertisement and the name recognition it generates is considerable.

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 with regard to buck kids.

Consignments arrive at the Sale site by personal vehicle or airline flight.  It is often inexpensive to fly a "pet" as excess baggage when accompanied by a person.  Your consignments are given the very best care throughout the week by both the host and Spotlight Sale committees.

Carefully read and follow the 2008 Nomination Rules & Regulations and the 2008 Sales Contract.   These documents include most of the information one needs to know and understand - you will be expected to comply with them.  Nominating your animal is not difficult.  We ask for a limited amount (3 pages maximum) of information/photographs about your nominee and its close relatives.   The 4th page required is the ADGA Performance Pedigree.

Nomination information must be postmarked by May 15, 2008 or prior. Nominations are to be sent to Kristina Bozzo-Baldenegro, ADGA Spotlight Co-Chair, P.O. Box 576, Plymouth, CA 95669. Nominator will be informed of acceptance decisions on or about July 1, 2008.   Be prepared to pay consignment fees on or before July 15, 2008. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kristina Bozzo-Baldenegro (209) 245-3353 or John White (937) 544-7451 or any Committee member for assistance.

We require one copy of the signed contract and 14 copies of the nomination packages.   For owners who cannot send the required copies, black and white copies can be made for an additional $25.00 (make check payable to ADGA and include with nomination packet).
