I knew there would people with more registration experience than me; I don't have any children that are at home so no goats for them and DH is not interested at all. However, if I die before him he might wished differently when he tries to sell of 40 goats that he doesn't own on paper.

Thank you so much for the help! I feel so welcomed to the community, I didn't think my first meager thread would garner so many responses!

My FFA advisor has some goat experience but its mostly been sheep and steers kept out here in the past couple of years. The breeder has been extremely helpful and has answered a lot of my questions but I'll be sure to stick around here, I'm sure I'll have about 100 more questions. I'm unsure about the technicalities about keeping the sheep and the goats together but so far I've been getting mixed responses, some saying to keep them separate totally and some saying that if properly introduced they should do fine together. I'm also concerned about any parasites they could possibly transmit to her...although they were wormed very recently and have nice bright pink eyelids

One of the big issue with sheep and goats together is that goats need copper in their minerals and sheep can't have copper in their minerals. The copper is very important for goats. I have never owned sheep so I am no help in the cohabitation but others on here have both and I am sure they can give you some ideas.
One thing you will learn here on BYH is that there are many many ways to do just about everything and most do it all a little differently. But it is all worth listening to.

Welcome!
One of our experiences in showing goats in our county fair, (Kings County, California), my daughter was prevented from showing in both showmanship and in registered classes, because her goats registrations had her name and mine on them. You might want to be sure that the shows you want to participate in will allow a family or shared ownership before registering them that way. Might cause you more grief than it is worth depending on where you are.
I personally prefer AGS as they have proven to be much more user friendly (especially for new members) and the rules they have make sense to me.

I agree. AGS is easier. They do not, however, do "experimentals".
When dealing with the ADGA I have had different answers from different people. We don't show but who knows if we got the right answer when we registered and that could be a problem if my daughters ever show.
I think even the MDGA is easier- and that's saying something.
I do like the ADGA though and my favorites are the pedigree search, DHIR stats and LA scores. Nice to plug in a planned breeding or look up a goat to see if they are "too" related.

Not sure about FFA but in an ADGA Youth show, the youth has to own the animal. In an open show you don't have to necessarily own the animal.
That's why Rachel is the owner (breeder) of all of our does.
She can show them in the youth show, and we can show them in the open shows.

Hmm then maybe it really would be a better idea if we just did 2 separate herds...She doesn't think she's gonna get anymore goats then her buck and I can see myself accumulating a couple of does!
Do I need to register a herd name right now? Or do I have some time to think about it?
Can I leave the tattoo portion of my request blank until then or would I be able to change it once applying for a herd name?

Sorry, that doesn't make sense, oops! What Im asking is if I register for my membership, it asks for a requested tattoo. However, id like to know if that tattoo could be changed upon registering a herd name. I'm a bit befuddled after reading the rules
