REGISTRATION question for the GOAT PEOPLE?

[P0U1TRYP3RS0N]

I posted this on the new byherds, too. Lets see if I get any responses. LOL:
I have always wanted a goat. I've enrolled in Goat project in 4-H TWICE but had to drop out because...I couldn't get a goat . This year I signed up for steer (again) and knew with workin steer I wouldn't have time for a goat, so I didn't sign up for goat again. BUt my 10 year old sister did. And, lo and behold They got her TWO bottle baby nubian wethers.I was really tight on money this spring, and my folks believe if I want something I should pay (I'm 18--last year I bought my own steer, paid for it all myself), so I didn't get a steer
Anyways...My sister is tired of taking care of her goats, so I've been doing it. I HATE nubians, but they are hysterically funny. I've always wanted a Nigie. So I put an ad on craigslist and someone responded. Technically, if I get my goat right now, I'll only be like two weeks past the ownership deadline for our county fair int he fall, and I'm pretty sure I squeek by and show in open dairy goat--I dont wanna win, just want a learning experience. I've been going to goat meetings and practicing showmanship with my sis goats.
Anyways, HERE'S THE THING...THE DOELING I WANT TO BUY IS REGISTERD NDGA and AGS (?), BUT THE SHOW AT OUR FAIR ONLY ALLOWS DOES REGISTERED WITH ADGA. The breeder said if I send in the paperwork for the other two registries, I can apply for a pending ADGA registration for the doeling. IS THIS TRUE---I JUST WANNA HEAR FROM SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF REGISTERING STOCK! Thanks!

I believe the http://www.adga.org/accepts AGS registrations as proof of lineage ( since they were the first ones to start tracking same).

The only problem I see is timeing. I have included the link to their web site. If I were you I would make a phone call , tell them what you are trying to accomplish and do what they say.

Good luck.

By the way the AGS has a fast track registration, you have to pay for it. But I once had the registrations papers back in a week. I fedexed the change of ownership forms to them and then paid for priority shipping back to me. You might call them as well , very helpful and will take a credit card over phone, or tell you how to pay via paypal, again best if you want to expedite the paperwork.

Check the fair rules. The ones for Western Fairs. I think you can show the animal if it is registered with any recognized purebred association, but if it is an ADGA show the animal cannot get credit for a permanent championship unless it is registered with ADGA. You may have to argue with the livestock office, but I think whoever is telling you the animal has to registered with ADGA is misinformed.

ADGA will register a goat that is AGS, so you should be good!
