Registrations Clerk - Born in Texas, I thrived in agriculture through 4-H and FFA. Graduated ASU in Animal Science, now a full-time clerk at ABGA. I was born in Monahans, Texas and moved to Sonora, Texas when I was three years old. My family raises white Dorpers and had a herd of Spanish-Boer goats. My father is an AgriLife Extension agent and has inspired me to continue my journey in the agriculture industry. I participated in 4-H for 10 years and the Sonora FFA chapter during my four years of high school. I was active in both clubs and participated in multiple competitions including the Range Science contests. Throughout my 10 years in 4-H, I showed market lambs and goats at the county and major livestock shows. Caring for and practicing with my livestock deepened my love for agriculture. I continued my education at Angelo State University (ASU) in August 2020, majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Business Administration. I participated in the ag department as the Vice President of the Delta Tau Alpha Agriculture Honor Society, a member and historian of Block & Bridle, a member of the Meat and Food Association, and Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association. During the summer of 2023, I was a member of the ASU Collegiate Meats Quiz Bowl team and competed at the AMSA RMC in ST. Paul, Minnesota. I was fortunate to intern at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association during the 2022 show season. I have also enjoyed going back home to Sonora, Texas to help with the county livestock show and range contests, as well as, taking care of our own livestock. I graduated from ASU in December of 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a minor in Business Administration. I am grateful for the opportunity to work as a full-time registrations clerk at ABGA. God bless, Catarina Hernandez < Back Catarina Hernandez Registrations Clerk Email All work orders must be submitted to mail@abga.org , or through our Contact page .

Amber Schroeder Amber is pursuing a career in animal reproduction, driven by a passion for improving genetic outcomes and advancing reproductive technologies. Hi I’m Amber Schroeder, located in batesville, IN. With seven years immersed in the Boer goat industry, I have honed my skills in breeding, genetics, and herd management. My hands-on experience includes overseeing operations, optimizing breeding programs, and implementing best practices for goat care. This background has not only deepened my technical knowledge but also fueled my commitment to advancing the industry. Currently, I am pursuing a career in animal reproduction, driven by a passion for improving genetic outcomes and advancing reproductive technologies. My goal is to leverage my expertise to enhance the health and productivity of Boer goats, contributing to the overall success of breeding programs. I am excited to channel my experience and enthusiasm into serving the Junior American Boer Goat Association (JABGA). By engaging with the JABGA community, I look forward to mentoring young breeders, sharing insights on effective management practices, and fostering a supportive environment for the next generation of Boer goat enthusiasts.

Policies and procedures for the Ennobled Herdbook were drafted in 1995 and approved in 1996. Subsequent Boards and several committees labored for another two years to develop the current criteria and procedures for the Ennobled Herdbook. In 2004, ABGA added the Non-Traditional classification to recognize animals that do not meet the color requirements of a Traditional animal. Only Purebred and Fullblood Boer goats are eligible for ennoblement. Those which attain registration into the Ennobled Herdbook provide breeders with visual definitions of the Breed Standards as adopted by the American Boer Goat Association. The Ennoblement program is meant to provide a direction and an incentive for the continual improvement and growth of the Boer goat.
