The grand champion goat from this year’s Colorado State Fair and another goat raised by the same family were disqualified after testing positive for an unapproved feed additive, state officials said Friday.
The family says their goat feed may have been tampered with and they plan to appeal.
Disqualification means the college student who raised the champion won’t get the $5,500 her goat netted at the State Fair auction, and her younger brother won’t get $1,300 sale price of his goat. It also means both are barred from future livestock events at the fair.
The Pueblo Chieftain reported the disqualifications on Friday.
Susan Weinroth of Sedalia, mother of the pair, told the newspaper their animals have always tested clean and that the family was shocked and reeling from the tests.
