  1. Goat Conformation
    Not sure which thread I should’ve posted this to, this isn’t a confirmation question. I had two kids born one buck and one doe. The dam is a 50% grade alpine and sire is 100% American alpine. I’ve heard in the past something along the lines of you can register the does but buck need to be a...
  2. Goat Frenzy
    With kidding at a pause for this month, we took some time to update and revamp our whole website. New photos and write ups, plus a new look. My sister does graphic designs for dog breeders for a small fee, so after watching her a bit, I tried my hand at it. New herd photos below! Our website...

    So I bought a buckling back in Nov 2023 and he came with an ADGA registration/redecoration application paper. I have never registered any goat before and I'm find all this incredible confusing. I would like to register him, but I'm not a member! Can I still register him without membership? If so...
  5. Waiting Room
    Well here we are now less than a month away from the arrival of our 2024 little long earred blessings and we can't wait! Everyone is looking super wide and making nice progress on their udders. Lots of high hopes on our first year with this Chalivah jr. buck! Here is a sneak peak at the big...
  6. Goat Frenzy
    It has been a while since I posted, but I just figured I would share an update since I am going to be absolutely SWAMPED in the next 30days with our biggest kidding season arriving and then tons of stuff going on. (sneak peek at the end of post). I have my website mostly updated with free...

    I sold a bred doe (I was owner of her at time of breeding and own the buck she was bred to also) and she then kidded after being transferred to the buyer’s name at their property. How do we register the kids? Do I need to provide them with a service memo? Do I have to register the kids or can...
  8. Goat Frenzy
    I have been absolutely dying to get updated photos for my farm. Usually I take the photos and then edit them, ect. :ROFLMAO:But my husband took these shots and several others from this session and I edited them. It was nice to get a break and have him photograph them instead of me. He hates...
  9. Goat Frenzy
    This will be my first ever show and OMG am I nervous!! We decided to go last minute and sent in enteries -- I'm getting everything gathered and ready... and going a little nuts. This week has been the only time my girls have ever been led, let alone posed. I'm new to this all and it definitely...
  10. Beginners Goat Raising
    I recently purchased my first three registered Nigerian dwarf does. As I was filling out the bottom for transfer on one of them I was distracted and put my address where my name should have been. So my first question is can white out be used on this official document to correct my mistake...
  11. Show Circuit
    Hey goat family! I recently bought a beautiful Nigerian Dwarf buck today. He's AGS registered, I have his sealed pedigree certificate, and I have the signed bill of sale transfer slip from the previous owner to transfer him into my name. I want to transfer registries and go the ADGA route...
  12. Beginners Goat Raising
    Hello, I am not new to goats, but I am new to registering them. I have two Nubian does that are the offspring of a registered 50% American dam and an unregistered Nubian sire (blame 15-year-old me, the buck was really sweet, and I did not know anything about registering goats at the time). I...
  13. Goat Management
    I really want to start showing goats once I start my farm again, I'd drive the goats there, but I really don't want to be the one in the ring. Will the ADGA let me do this, and do y'all think $50 would be a good amount to pay someone to show my goats?
  14. Beginners Goat Raising
    Good afternoon everyone, I am having a heck of a time understanding the ADGA guide on tattooing my goats. I was assigned my tattoo GB57, which is all well and good, but then the guide talks about assigning tattoos based on year and birth order. I believe their example was M for 2020 and 1,2,3...
  15. Goat Management
    I want heavy, hardy and tall Nubian's. At least 250 lbs, 35 inches (withers), live with little to no worming and trimmings, make lovely milkers and also have excellent breed conformation. Once I get the "look" I want they'd probably be around 60-70% Nubian and 40-30% meat goat and then I would...
  16. Goat Management
    Would any ADGA members be willing to sign a NOA letter for three of my Nubian does? I do not have any members near me that could come evaluate them so I was thinking I send pictures to someone and have them mail the letters to me.
  17. Goat Management
    I have a doe registered with the MDGA (profile pic) but i have an ADGA registered buck. would their kid be register-able? If so, with who? The MDGA or the ADGA? If it is not possible, I am on the look out for a MDGA registered nigerian dwarf buck to rent to breed her. Do you know anybody in...
  18. Mini Mania
    Hi all! This is probably a silly question but I was curious and couldn't find the answer online. I was reading the ADGA's breed standards (http://adga.org/breed-standards/) for some breeds of goats (specifically Nigerian Dwarves since that is what I mainly have) and noticed it said, "..The face...
  19. Beginners Goat Raising
    Hi again! I am trying to find a directory of all the herd names registered with the ADGA, so that I can choose one that is not already assigned. I am also trying to figure out what herd is assigned my does' tattoo (SLF8). A link or help would be greatly appreciated.
  20. Goat Frenzy
    Hi! I am new on here, at least new as a member, have been reading posts for awhile. I need some assistance in tattooing ADGA kids. I get the general 'gist' and have read the ADGA link on tattooing but it still doesn't make sense to me. For whatever reason, lol. So I was assigned a three...
