-Duel Association Registered Goats: If another associations tattoo is already in the ear, we will accept those tattoos for foundation miniature goats if there is not a conflict with our system. For Purebred Mini registration, we ask that the NMGA tattoo system is used, OR you can use a microchip or tail tattoo(with NMGA system) instead, only in the case of duel registration conflict. When duel registering foundation minis using another system, it is best to have at least the same right tattoo prefix with both associations to avoid a conflict in the NMGA system. If a left/right tattoo is in conflict we will require a microchip or tailweb NMGA tattoo to avoid confusion. E-mail the registrant if you need help with this.

 

-All colors are acceptable. Grey, Black, Bay, Tan, White, Carmel, Red, Black, and Brown. List as Light, Medium, or Dark. Include markings described as painted, trimmed, or agouti. Dairy color terminology is also acceptable.
