Progeny Points

The concept of progeny points for ennoblement refers to a system for awarding points to goats based on their performance and that of their progeny in ABGA-sanctioned shows or approved performance tests. These points contribute to an animal's eligibility for the prestigious "Ennoblement" title.


View Summary of Ennoblement and points

  1. Eligibility for Ennoblement

    1. Both Fullblood and Purebred bucks and does registered with the ABGA are eligible for ennoblement.

    2. A minimum of three progenies must contribute points to a parent to make it eligible for the title.

  2. Point Requirements

    1. For inspected animals:

      1. A total of 80 points is required, combining the animal's individual achievements and its progeny's points.

      2. At least 30 of these points must come from three or more progenies, with each progeny contributing a minimum of 5 points.

      3. The individual animal can contribute a maximum of 50 points to its own ennoblement.

    2. For uninspected or deceased animals:

      1. A higher threshold of 100 combined points is needed.

      2. The same progeny contribution rules apply, but the animal may contribute up to 70 points itself.

  3. How Points are Earned

    1. Progeny earn points based on their placement in ABGA-sanctioned shows or performance tests.

    2. The system ensures progeny represent the animal's genetic quality, highlighting the importance of both direct and indirect performance
