Registration Info<\/span><\/h3>\n

Pygora kids can be “pre-registered” prior to growing in their adult fleece but cannot be permanently registered until their adult fleece grows in – usually between 7-12 mos of age. Pre-registration requires a side view photo of the kid between birth and 3 or 4 weeks of age, a completed application and a small fee. White kids reliably grow in a white fleece, but kids of other colors can grow brown, grey or caramel or white fleeces. It’s also difficult to determine with certainty if a young kid’s adult fleece will be an “A”, “B”, or “C” type.<\/p>\n

For permanent\u00a0 registration, the Pygora Breeders Association (PBA) Registrar needs a side-view photo of the goat “out of fleece”, a side view photo of the goat “in fleece”, and a fleece sample clipped from the tip of the fiber to the skin, from anywhere along the animal’s side (between the shoulder and hip). Because it can take 6-12 months for a goat to fully grow in their adult fleece, kids born to registered Pygora parents can be issued a pre-registration certificate, which is good until they reach 1 year of age. For a permanent registration certificate, a fleece sample and “in fleece” photo are required. <\/p>\n

Steps for Registration: (in order to register a goat you must be the owner listed on the pre-registration certificate; if not, a transfer of ownership form must be done first…)<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. If a kid has been pre-registered<\/span>, the original pre-registration certificate is sent in along with an “in-fleece” side view photo and a 2″x2″ fleece sample.<\/li>\n
  2. If a kid was not pre-registered<\/span> at an early age, include a registration application,\u00a0 a small application fee, an “in-fleece” side view photo and 2″x2″ fleece sample, along with an “out-of-fleece” (sheared) side view photo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
