Hosted by Cincinnati’s Own – Those German Guys!

Get ready for an evening of outrageous bleats and belly laughs as Bockfest regulars, Those German Guys, host this unforgettable competition!

What’s a Bleat?
A bleat is the sound goats make—it can be a playful "maaah," a loud, demanding cry, or even a deep, guttural call. Goats bleat to communicate hunger, happiness, distress, or just to say, “Hey, look at me!” Now, it’s your turn to channel your inner goat and bring the best bleats to the stage!

How It Works:
Each contestant gets 30–60 seconds to deliver their most convincing or creative goat calls.
Types of calls can include:
Baby goat bleats
Distressed goat cries
Happy/playful bleats
Aggressive or territorial calls
Costumes & props are encouraged (but no voice-altering devices)!

Judging & Scoring:
A panel of Bockfest celebrities will score contestants 1–10 in the following categories:
Accuracy – Does it sound like a real goat?
Creativity – Unique twists get bonus points!
Enthusiasm – Energy, passion, and commitment count!
Crowd Reaction – The louder the cheers, the better your score!

Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place!
1st Place: $200 Moerlein Lager House Gift Card + the Inaugural Bockfest Cry Baby Goat Calling Championship Belt!
2nd Place: $100 Moerlein Lager House Gift Card
