Regardless of whether they are called Nervous goats, Stiff-legs, Scare goats or Fainters, the Myotonic Goat Registry is a place for all breeders to register their Myotonic goats. The Myotonic Goat Registry has taken into consideration all breeders, from pet owners to commercial meat growers. Although the Myotonic Goat Registry is passionate about conserving Myotonic goats as the pure breed that they are, it has also included a place for crossbreeding programs so that breeders can register goats with at least 50% or more of Myotonic breeding, up to and including those all-important purebred animals.
The Myotonic Goat Registry will maintain goat pedigrees for breeders. The Registry is also eager to have any background history that the bloodlines of your goats may possess. The registry will safeguard this information so that it is not lost for future generations. The registry will include a three-generation pedgiree (based on availability) with your goat’s registration to help breeders plan accurate breeding programs.
The Registry will help breeders to promote Myotonic goats through sales, advertising, shows, and by supplying a complete breeder’s list to all interested buyers. The Registry will educate the breeders an the public about the Myotonic Goat and its usefullness for a variety of settings. Your farm name and contact information (by permission) will beon the Myotonic Goat Registry web pages.
The Myotonic Goat Registry was founded as a sole ownership registry, with input from a Board of Advisors made up of other long-term breeders. The owner and Board of Advisors all have several years of experience with the breed. The owner and the Board of Advisors make decisions concerning the registry and its procedures. This method of governance is meant to provide Myotonic Goat breeders with a registry that will nto have frequent changes, and will have the longevity and consistency needed to successfully promote the Myotonic Goat breed while at the same time being responsive to the needs and wishes of the breeders. The owner, along with the Board of Advisors, will be responsible for its own replacements and/or expansions.
