ABGA identifies animals by their left and right ear tattoos These tattoos must follow ABGA rules and guidelines. Tattoo Guidelines ABGA identifies animals by their left and right ear tattoos These tattoos must follow ABGA rules and guidelines. Tattoo Uniqueness No animal may be registered with the same right+left ear combination within a 22-year period. Completing the registration application Report the tattoo exactly as it appears on the animal. Do not list un-applied marks. If there was a tattooing mistake, list what is actually on the animal; you may need to add letters/numbers so the tattoo is unique. If a tattoo must be corrected (re-tattoo) Animals that list a sequence already assigned in the registry must be re-tattooed in the right ear with your assigned prefix; the certificate will reflect the re-tattoo. Send the certificate back noting all characters as they appear; ABGA will issue a revised certificate per Rule 712. Rule 712 specifies that a corrected certificate can reflect a re-tattoo. Transfers & sales: verify tattoos before selling Before offering a registered animal for sale or applying for transfer, the seller must verify the animal carries legible permanent identification marks corresponding to its certificate. Show requirements All goats must have legible tattoos consistent with the registration certificate or the animal will be disqualified; point-eligible goats’ tattoos must be read and recorded. Microchip or freeze brand is accepted by ABGA in addition to, or in lieu of, tattoos for shows; owner supplies the scanner. Rules and Regulations Who must be tattooed and when All goats must be tattooed at the time of application for registration. Include tattoo info on the application. External IDs (tags, etc.) are not permanent ID for registration. What counts as permanent identification Permanent identification for registration = tattoos. Microchips are accepted as official ID in addition to or in lieu of tattoos; owner must provide a scanner. Freeze branding is accepted and considered a method of tattoo. Brand the assigned herd prefix in the right ear; it’s recommended to mark the left ear with year letter + serial. Right ear = Herd Prefix (your tattoo sequence) Each applicant is assigned a unique tattoo sequence (exclusive-use policy). Use only your assigned sequence. Place the applicant’s tattoo (herd prefix) in the right ear of every animal you submit for registration. If a pregnant doe is sold, the offspring must carry the herd prefix of the doe’s owner at kidding in the right ear. Left ear = Year letter + serial number Recommended format for the left ear: the year letter of birth + a serial number showing order of birth. A year-letter table (letters I, O, Q, U not used) is provided in Rule 215. Rules and Regulations Year Letter 2026 S 2025 R 2024 P 2023 N 2022 M 2021 L 2020 K 2019 J 2018 H 2017 G 2016 F 2015 E 2014 D 2013 C 2012 B 2011 A 2010 Z 2009 Y 2008 X 2007 W 2006 V 2005 T 2004 S 2003 R 2002 P 2001 N 2000 M 1999 L 1998 K 1997 J 1996 H 1995 G 1994 F 1993 E Rules and Regulations Quick reference Right ear: your herd prefix (tattoo or freeze brand).

The Reasons Behind the Breed Standards by Jada Young Maintaining Breed Integrity The Reasons Behind the Breed Standards by Jada Young Many times, in my show career I have asked myself questions. A substantial amount when I was younger was ‘why some things about our breed are the way they are, and what makes those things so important?’ A few examples of that would be the depth of body on an animal, or the precise hooks and pin set on a doe, or even the breed’s characteristic roman nose? Many of these answers can be dated back to before the Boer Goat was brought over to the United States from South Africa in 1993. When looking for these answers we need to take a step back from the show ring and look at the breed from a production standpoint. Our animals were not always made for the show life. They were used to produce meat for slaughter purposes. The main factor in that production was kidding out does to have more potential babies, or slaughter opportunities. This is where the deep body cavity and hooks to pin set come into play. The deeper flanked a doe is, the more desirable she will be because she has more maternal capabilities. This means she will have more room to carry the babies comfortably to full term. The hooks and pin set also play a vital role in the birth of baby goats. If you have a doe that is too narrow in her rear end, there is a higher chance of babies getting stuck, which is a possibility of lost life. When looking at herd production, you want to continue growing, instead of losing vital members of your herd. The next stage of life for a young kid is to grow to their full potential. When a kid was born many years ago back in South Africa, many farmers looked at their body characteristics to determine how much natural muscling the animals will carry when they are older. The roman nose is believed to signify a strong, broad head which is associated with good meat production. This is how farmers would cull their herds to only keep what they believed would be good meat producers. Next time when you are wondering why some of our breed characteristics are in place, ask a fellow member in hopes of learning some of the history behind our association. It is very important to know why our breed characteristics were instilled in the Boer goat all those years ago in South Africa.

Strategic breeding is essential to preserving the breed’s standards. Learn more about raising goats by JABGA Area 4 Director Brook Arce. Keeping the Breed Strong Strategic breeding is essential to preserving the breed’s standards. Learn more about raising goats by JABGA Area 4 Director Brook Arce. Whether you’re new to raising goats or have been doing it for years, strategic breeding is essential to preserving the breed’s standards and ensuring the long-term health and productivity of the herd. It’s not just about pairing any buck and doe; it’s about making informed decisions that promote desirable traits, improve overall soundness, and contribute to a sustainable and high-quality herd. When selecting a buck, it’s important to prioritize qualities such as correct teat structure, strong feet and legs, proper body conformation, and overall soundness. These physical traits are crucial because they directly impact the animal’s health, ease of management, and reproductive success and can be effectively passed on to their offspring, ensuring the continued quality of the herd. By incorporating AI into your breeding program, you can make significant advancements toward achieving your herd's long-term goals. AI is a valuable tool for goat breeders as it improves herd quality by introducing superior genetics, promoting diversity, and increasing reproductive efficiency. AI helps breeders achieve better traits, health, and productivity more effectively. Beyond physical traits, health and disease resistance are becoming increasingly important considerations in breeding. Selecting animals that demonstrate resilience to parasites and other common health challenges can significantly reduce the need for medication and improve herd sustainability. Breeding for these qualities helps create a herd that is more adaptable to different environments and less dependent on treatments, which is better for both the animals and the owners. Additionally, it’s essential to align your breeding choices with the long-term vision for your herd. Whether your goal is to produce high-quality wethers, develop strong breeding stock, or a combination of both, selecting animals that support these objectives will enhance herd consistency and success over time. Responsible and informed breeding practices are vital for maintaining the integrity of the Boer breed; by pairing animals that meet breed standards, promote good health, and demonstrate resilience, you can develop a herd that is vigorous, productive, and true to its heritage. Thoughtful breeding is an investment in the future of your herd and plays a crucial role in sustaining the qualities that make Boer goats so valuable.
