They have been really bad, but I think they are finally starting to catch up. It took me 6 months to get back the papers on two kids that I mailed in paper registrations for, and both had errors 🙄 But the kid I registered online, I had correct papers within a week or two.

Ask the seller if they will transfer the goats to you online. That speeds things up and then they will at least be in your name even if it still takes them a while to get papers back to you.

 

The papers i had to send snail mail had errors, but i wasnt going to send back and chance them getting lost. the online is much better! i try to get the person im buying the kid from to reg/transfer online and i just pay the fee for it plus a few extra bucks.

i sold a few bottle babies last year, the new owner finally got around to registering the one back in jan. they even called multiple times but it was lost. so i ended up reg and transferring online a month or so ago and at least they have the copy in the email of it now.

 

Olay question if i were to get them to do it online.. will it be an issue when my papers do finally get looked at? I sent a check with the mailed in papers becaise i had no membership. I finally have one and can acess the software

 

I just sent in transfer papers maybe 2 weeks ago and got them back already. I did pay for the rush processing though.

 

I was sone the phone with them today if reference to the same issue. Right now they are currently doing march's applications. seems like they are really backed up.

 

Wow that's backed up!

 

Next time ill be paying for rush service for sure

 

I talked with them several times this spring. If they answer then they are very helpful. They told me that rush didn't really matter and not to bother this year (but that was in April). I did get my papers by late May/early June. I sent it via email. They messed up my account so much that I may have been flagged as a priority.

 

Oh wow ia really that common to receive papers with mistakes on them? I feel like i keep seeing this come up

 

I had it happen at least twice, even before the issues of this year. So I don’t think it’s really related to all the other stuff going on.

 

Ooh okay.

 

He** finally froze i received an email today saying the first outta the 3 has finally been completed. Bought her in may gettin my papers in September wow i never woulda guessed so long when i started.

 

so when the buckling needs to be dna'd to be registered how long do you think that will take? i couldnt remember what year but thinking next year? and do you know if the dna just needs to be on file or the parents need to be dna'd also>?

 

It is just a buckling or any buck that you're going to use for braiding that is going to need to have DNA on file at this point. If you apply for the DNA online it usually doesn't take very long to get the email with the papers for you to print off. If you want them to mail it to you that is something I wouldn't want to mess with this year. I have done several and I've done g6s testing. It's not bad once they got it ironed out in about May. They made a special link for it this year because like everything else in the new system it wasn't working right. Except for like several people have said registering online starting in about April seems to have worked out okay. If you have trouble finding it you could always email Penny she's always helpful. The support tickets are a disaster I think they're just so far behind and overwhelmed. Has a plus member it's been kind of a bummer this year that they're so far behind with everything else because they're also not getting to things because I don't have any programming for it for things like one day milk test. And I have no idea if they'll figure out my d h i r or when.

 

Ill be real honest i have no idea. This is my first year being a member

 

I think I heard that the turnaround time on DNA testing is 5-6 weeks. I'm an ADGA Plus member so i have my prepaid DNA tests I need to use soon. Ive been waiting all year for things to clear up before I send them in, but if I wait much longer I'm going to lose them!
The mandatory DNA is for bucks born after 2023, so you don't need your bucks DNA'd yet unless you're unsure of the sire.

 

I've had good luck registering kids online, I just registered six on Friday last week and got the paperwork yesterday. If I register a kid and ask it to be sent to the new owners, it never is since they rolled out NG.

 

I had issue because i wasnt a member yet. Couldnt do anything online yet im hoping future transactions go a little faster.
