NEW OPPORTUNITY: ABGA is collaborating with North Dakota State University to bring back a Performance Buck Test for producers.

The 2025 Dakota Meat Goat Buck Performance Test at Hettinger Research Center, North Dakota will evaluate bucks on post-weaning growth, feed efficiency and carcass characteristics to help drive breed improvement. As an ABGA approved Performance Test, bucks can earn points towards Ennoblement, Sire of Merit or Doe of Excellence! 

If you have questions about the buck test, or may be interested in consigning to it, please click the link below the flyer to fill out an informational form. This will allow us to follow up with you with more information as we get closer to the test.
