Wether Identification
#3
Taffy,
My Pack goats are micro-chipped (at the base of the right ear) and some are also tattooed, but never ear tagged. The way I understand the law to read, is that your goat must have a positive way to identify it and it's place of origin, but does "NOT" have to be an ear tag, scrapie or otherwise. I sold four Packgoats to Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey last October. To make this happen lots of "T's" had to be crossed and "I's" dotted. I tattooed and micro-chipped all four as I have done in the past and their Veterinary Department concured, that was more than enough. Also the ADGA has a wether registry, where you can register your wethers Tattoo numbers and they will then be identified as belonging to the person that registered them. This, a record, on file with a major caprine orginization. Hope this is helpful !

I failed to mention, that on the trail, when they are wearing a collar, I have a Stainless steel I.D. tag that has my name, address and phone number (not the goats name).
