After careful consideration by the MGR BOA, the following changes went into effect on 5-1-2022. These changes were necessary to strengthen the genetics of the Myotonic breed.
1. Goats with one parent registered in the MGR will be registered as 50% myotonic. Goats w/o an MGR registered parent will also be registered at no greater than 50% (unless documentation of linage can be provided).
2. Goats with a complete pedigree background of registered goats in IFGA, MSFGA, (others?) will be considered on a case by case basis and may be admitted with a percentage Myotonic appropriate for the record, as well as goats with lapses in MGR registration. A $25 inspection fee will be added to the $15 electronic registration fee. Goats for review must be submitted by e-mail to MGR.
3. Breeders may petition for exceptions, especially when multiple goats from a single source are considered. Exceptions are granted at the Board’s discretion. The Board’s decisions will be based on the strength of the history and background of the goat, and of the herd from which it originated. An inspection fee of $25 will be imposed for Board consideration of the history and type. This is a single fee regardless of the number of goats presented from a single herd and is not imposed on goats individually.
4. Only does & wethers will follow these changes. Bucks require both their sire & dam to be MGR registered to be eligible for registration. This in no way affects currently registered goats.
5. All paperwork received on or after May 1, 2022 follows the new rules.
Please note Bucks closed on January 1, 2013. Bucks without two MGR registered parents may not be registered, no exceptions.
