ADGA registration
Ive got a bottle baby coming in around march 15th.How complicated is it to register?The lady I'm buying her off of said it would cost 35.00 she said something about a farm name do you choose it or do they?How hard is it to tattoo them and what does the equipment cost?I'm a newbie as far as goats go I'm just wanting milk goats for my family but I realize papers will help sell kids.

First, you will have to join ADGA. You can do it online.
Once you've joined, you can pick a herd name. You pick it, ADGA does not. There is a search engine available at ADGA so you know whether or not your choice(s) are taken. You also choose your tattoo.
On a kid you buy, you do NOT use your herd name, the person you buy it from provides that, although you can certainly pick the other part of the name. She does the tattoo, not you, but if you do it, you need to use her tattoo information. The tattoo identifies what herd the kid came from, not the owner of the animal. As the animal ages and goes through different owners, the registration papers will identify the current owner.
Registration costs are lower if you are a member of ADGA. If you're going to have registered goats, you should join.
You can find all your answers on their site.

Wildhorse: What kind of goat(s) are you getting? It's good to know other goat owners in the Carolinas. We have Nubians here. I agree with DocM... you should join the ADGA, even if just for the discount on registrations.

Nubians are great "first goats". They're noisy, needy, and generally obnoxious, and really make a person appreciate the other breeds... ha ha.

Now Doc Ive got a saanen too.....  plus who wouldn't love those long ears. They should work fine for family milkers. Yep I'm a newbie......but I think Doc is picking on me. But at least Doc is straight forward and direct and that's a quality I appreciate.

LOL I actually have to agree with Doc, too. I have Nubians and Saanens. Nubians are what they are - loud, pushy, bouncier than a three year old toddler and absolutely adorably cuddly! If I had to choose one over the other, I'd take my Nubians. Or maybe I'm just in love with those Looooong ears?

My first experience with dairy goats was walking through the show barn at the State Fair. The first goats I saw were Nubians, looked like about 40 (probably 6 or 7) all hanging over the fence, reaching out for every patron that walked by, licking people, tongues hanging out, bleating in the most pitiful way so of course people came over to pet them, then they did this weird thing where they held their heads back and looked at people on the other side of the pen upside down, and I couldn't decide if they were 'cute', 'possessed', or just plain scary. When it came time to actually get goats (many years later), I remembered those scary things and went with a goat I though would "less" trouble - a French Alpine. That original goat is still in my herd (of lamanchas, thankfully I wised up), she has to be penned separatedly because she IS possessed, and not in a good way, she can (still) leap a 6' fence, she (still) acts like a whacky yearling - she's going on 13 and shows NO sign of aging. I should have got a nubian....

No way! My herd of Nubians and some boers have everything they could think of! As much hay as they want to waste! brushes 24/7 and heated water buckets. I thought they would be loud but, they don't say boo! I have never heard them! It most be the Canadian Blood in them! Or you guys are breeding for loud little BRATS! Mine and every one esles, and every one I talk to say they don't make a sound!!!!!!  :baby04: :baby04: :baby04:
But I am getting an Alpine to show and maybe they will start to yell! Plus we aren't on a farm just a 1acre plot and have every thing full! no more barns and have to borrow land to gaze them on a huge pasture! Maybe 20 acres of hay land. He likes us putting all the little berrys in it for him! and the girls love it, and love the milk! 3 ways to be good! But we will see soon. my friend may sell out and I may get 2 more! that would be up to 14 goats!!!! (selling the 2 bucks)
