Dear Dairy Goat Friend and Supporter,
In 2017, the Minnesota Dairy Goat Association and its members created the Best of The Midwest-MDGA State Show to fill a need for local dairy goat families looking to exhibit their animals. This American Dairy Goat Association sanctioned show will host hundreds of dairy goats from the midwest in Preston, MN and support youth education with a youth only show, along with providing a three-ring show for all.
The 2026 MDGA-Best of the Midwest Show will be held on Saturday, May 30th and Sunday,May 31st at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds in Preston, MN. A committee of dairy goat enthusiasts from Minnesota plans this great event for all. We are currently seeking donations to help support the cost of renting the facility for the show, sanctioning fees with the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA), speciality awards, and costs of hiring official ADGA judges.
The show is funded entirely by registration fees from exhibitors and by donations from businesses and farms in MN. This year’s show program and all social media advertising will include all donors as well as donation levels
