Permanent Australian Champion Zodiac Poppy ND75 (AI) – Titled 20.05.2021

Leading the way in NSW - Permanent Australian CHAMPION Proudly bred and titled by Fe Everett at Zodiac Miniature Goat Stud.

This sweet little doe commands attention as she sweeps into the ring, very well behaved and a real show girl on the runway. She stands just 51.5cm tall as a 3yo and has left her little legacy of beautiful offspring with her breeder.

Awarded 9 X Championships under 9 different Judges and 2 X Best Of Breed Nigerian Dwarf, Poppy boasts numerous Champion and Best Udder awards, in the three short years she has been shown.

Simply stunning little doe, who exhibits length of body from shoulder through to tail, wonderful levelness of topline and strength over loin, good spring of ribs and plenty of capacity to carry a large rumen and room for kids.

Poppy is a beautiful swiss buckskin doe.

Sire: Lost Valley TB Cairo ND100 Imp USA (S) Dam: Stoney Creek Lilo ND50 Now owned by Daniela Kurtz NSW

Showing is a wonderful experience and a great way to gain knowledge about the breeds.

November 10, 2021 Notice of Interim MGBA President It is with great sadness that we see the retirement of our long standing President Mr Rodney Surawski.

This is a great loss for the Club but thankfully he is remaining on the Board as a Committee member.

This will free up time to concentrate on the future growth of his own Stud, Stoney Creek Farm.

Until the next AGM, we welcome on board Mr Stephen Fagg who has taken on the role like a duck to water. Thank you Stephen Fagg, we are very lucky The link to the first MGBA calendar is now live go to the "Forms" page on the MGBA website to order yours now!

You'll notice you can order 1 to 4 at a time - if you require 5 or more going to the same address please contact Jan: rjanjanr@gmail.com and we can arrange direct delivery.

Orders of 1 to 4 will be sent from our Secretary who has them all ready to ship out to you.

We hope you really love them.

Nov 9, 2021 - Notice – Update [clarification] to Show Rules For all animals that carry a combination of imported DNA over 25% – i.e 25% Pygmy or ND. These animals will be typically 18.75 % of one imported breed and then a % of over 6.25% of the other imported breed.

These animals will be classified in the system as “Crossbreed” and the DNA percentage will be added into the registration number.

These animals won’t be eligible to be shown as they are outside of our current show rules however we expect they will make wonderful breeding animals for the next generation.

Any questions please contact any committee member or myself on jade.holberton@bigpond.com

REGISTRY

REGISTERING WITH IMPORTED GENETICS The Committee has been working on a solution for members to be able to register their animals with imported genetics that currently do not qualify as one of our breeds (AM, Pygmy, ND or Aussie).

We have introduced a category to cover those animals that have too much imported genetics to qualify as an Australian Miniature (over 25%), but not enough to qualify as a Nigerian Dwarf or Pygmy (under 25%).

These animals will be registered as ‘Cross Bred’.

For example - an animal has 18.75% Pygmy and 12.5% ND – so they carry a combined 31.25% imported genetics and therefore not eligible to be registered as Miniature Bred, however also not meeting the minimum 25% required to be registered as Pygmy or ND – this animal will be entered as Cross Bred.

• Animals carrying LESS than 25% imported genetics (total Pygmy and/or ND genetics) are registered and shown as Miniature Bred without DNA. These animals are eligible to be graded as Australian Miniature Goats.

• Animals carrying exactly 25% imported genetics may be registered and shown as Miniature Bred without DNA. These animals are eligible to be graded and registered as Australian Miniature.

• Alternatively, animals carrying exactly 25% of one imported breed (eg 25% pygmy, or 25% ND) may be registered and shown as that imported breed with DNA parental verification for does, bucks and show wethers.

• Animals carrying MORE than 25% imported genetics are not eligible to be registered as Miniature Bred or graded as Australian Miniature.

• Animals carrying MORE than 25% of one of the imported breeds MUST be registered and shown as an imported breed ( ie more than 25% ND are registered as ND, and more than 25% Pygmy, are registered as Pygmy). Where animals carry more

Page 12. than 25% ND AND more than 25% pygmy, then the breeder may choose which breed to register under depending on the type. DNA parental verification is required for all does, bucks and show wethers registered as Nigerian Dwarf or Pygmy.

• Animals carrying MORE than 25% imported genetics, but less than either 25% Pygmy or 25% ND genetics can entered in the registry as Cross Bred without DNA. • Cross Bred animals are not eligible for showing.

Q: How does this work for Nuwbys who may have a large % of ND to reduce height and for milking capacity, but fit the breed type for Nuwby?

A: The Nuwby Grade system allows up to 50% imported genetics, anything over this would be registered as the import breed but could be used in the production of our Nuwby goats. Offspring would be eligible for registering in the Grades provided they do not exceed 50% import breed.

Australian Miniature goats can have up to 25% imported genetics, Animals with more than 2550% import genetics are recognised as “equivalent” to Grade B for Aussie Mini breeding.

Provided their offspring do not exceed 25% those offspring will be eligible for registration as Australian Miniature goats.

YASS SHOW NSW Saturday November 13, 2021 Judge: Mr Jack Robinson, Steward: Ms Megan Kerr, Sponsor: Patch Mini Goats Exhibitors: Curradux, Riverstone, Free Selectors, Koollomon, Rosebud, Willow Brae, Dry Creek, Malarus, Patch, Ferndale, Wattlehaven, Emeradi, Zodiac & Brooke Lavorato

WELL DONE!!

Well today we put the 'crazy' into the old saying crazy goat lady/man. 14 exhibitors from two states presented 90 goats to our two judges at the Willow Brae Yass show in rather 'damp' conditions.

The wet weather did not dampen our enthusiasm for our goats and goat friends we have been missing over lockdown. Thanks to everyone who participated, to our wonderful stewards and judges, to our hosts Jen and Steve Wade for their awesome hospitality, to our show sponsors Patch Mini Goats and Willow Brae Pygmy Goats.

Special thanks to everyone helping out at the end of the day.

(Fe Everett) Another great show in Yass! Well done to all involved with the

organisation and the running of a awesome day, huge effort!

Also a big shout out to Steve and Jennifer for sacrificing your paddock. So sorry for all the holes (Ash Bruton) What a fun day! It might have been cold and wet but it was great to catch up with our goatee friends.

I honestly I don't think I have seen people have that much fun at pack up time before.

While a few were worried if they would ever get out....the 'Boys' were having a blast playing in the mud, using their man power to help people and whipping around in Steves new 'Toy'.

(Jennifer Wade).

It was a great day and the weather just made it even more memorable.

It was lovely to catch up with and meet other goaty people and admire so many beautiful goats.

Looking forward to the next show.

(Leigh Webster).

Who would have thought that being wet muddy and cold could be fun lol. All you need to add is a whole lot of crazy goat lovers and good friends.

Thanks to Fe, Tash, Jen & Steve for all your hard work putting this together I know how much work goes into it.

Have to say it was nice coming to a show without all the responsibilities Thanks for the fun day x (Seleena Nichols).

NSW MGBA Sydney Royal Easter Show Thursday following the Angora section – so travellers might like to organise something on the outskirts of Sydney for the Thursday night.

There are limited basic accommodation options onsite for Friday night right near the goat shed, or your book one of the hotels at Olympic Park.

FRIDAY APRIL 15, 2022 For the past few years a team of our NSW show volunteers have been putting on a display at the Sydney Royal Easter Show with a view to ‘one-day’ having the miniature goat breeds recognised by one of the most prestigious agricultural shows in Australia – the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW. The popularity of the miniature goat section was incredible and we are so excited to announce that this year on Good Friday the RAS will be presenting an MGBA breed show as part of the goat competition!

Entry details and schedule will be finalised very soon and posted via the MGBA members facebook group and our website.

Some pre-planning information all exhibits will need to be from a whole-herd tested stud and be registered at time of entry. Entries will close a lot earlier than our regular shows, so if you have ND or Pygmy kids to enter – get their DNA off asap.

Parking at the show is included for exhibitors. Please email Fe ASAP if you want to book accommodation for the Friday night on site.

There are also still availabilities as we go to press at the Ibis, Novotel and Pullman if you’d like to secure something there.

The goats will bump in early Friday morning April 15 and remain on ground until early Saturday morning April 16. No goats can enter the grounds before Friday morning due to full pavilion clean overnight on the

Exciting times for Stoney Creek Farm and Kamalaya Farm.

By R. Heaton. The two sister studs are paving the way for redefining the standard of Nigerian Dwarf genetics

in Australia. With the importation of some of the most superior genetics from the USA, Kamalaya Farm and Stoney Creek Farm have successfully established their Artificial Insemination (AI) and Embryo programs.

They are thrilled with the recent birth of six 100% Nigerian Dwarfs from their imported embryo program.

“We are very excited to showcase our first successful embryo program which produced six kids including four bucks and two does from fourteen embryos. We will be going into our second embryo program in May 2022”. - Rodney Surawski

“The program is based on the world-famous Old Mountain Farm genetics. We would like to thank Cheryle and Wyl Smith from Old Mountain Farm and Duva Appleman from Oak Apple Farm for helping us realise our vision.” - Jade Holberton “Our 2021 AI program has also produced a number of quality kids from our percentage does.” - Rodney Surawski Below are some fine examples of the AI program.

The friendship between the studs started with Jade Holberton and Shaun Strang (Kamalaya Farm) engaging Rodney Suraswski (Stoney Creek Farm) as their breeder.

Since then, their shared passion for breeding and showing Nigerian Dwarf goats has blossomed into a wonderful collaboration with the vision of elevating the quality of the breed in Australia.

NOT JUST A VISION….

Stoney Creek Farm and Kamalaya Farm are well and truly achieving what they have set out to do.

So far, they have imported more than 15 of the top quality USA Nigerian Dwarf genetics from superior bloodlines with proven dairy attributes. When Rodney began his journey into the goat world, he didn’t have the kind of relationship with a breeder where he could collaborate, share ideas, and feel supported in growing his stud and business. The kind of relationship Stoney Creek Farm has built with Kamalaya Farm.

The two studs are focused on creating a family around the celebration of the improvement of the breed in Australia. One where new and existing breeders can too, access these top-quality genetics with end-to-end support through the achievements of Kamalaya Farm and Stoney Creek Farm. Their USA embryo and semen importation program includes the below:

ACT Canberra Royal I have just received an email from the show society to say the Royal will go ahead in

February 2022.

Kym & myself have done a MGBA miniature goat display at the 3 day show since 2017 however given the expense of the trip from Bendigo area and 5 days accommodation we are seeking one of more studs more local to take over.

This show has approximately 100,000 people attend each year and I think most come through the animal nursery where we have our display.

Public do not have access to our goats and all precautions concerning our JD & CAE testing are taken seriously by the society.

The team running this section of the show are wonderful people and love having us each year they bend over backwards to make us and our goats comfortable.

Goats can be left overnight as people are on site or you could take them home overnight.

This is a great opportunity for sales and for informing the public about our wonderful mini goat breeds.

GRANT FROM BENDIGO BANK FOR SHOW MARQUEE..

THE THINGS WE DO… MGBA (Qld) took home $1,500 after successfully pitching their idea (funds for 6x3 Marquee) to the Board of the Bendigo Community Bank, Canungra & District.

The evening was like a theatresports event with some very imaginative skits performed.

To begin with, we had to build a “marque” out of conduit and gaffer tape, this represented what we were requesting the Grant for. (pic right ) Tim (Qld Show Manager) dressed up in a full body suit goat costume with collar around

his neck and YES, that is a wooden scrubbing brush for a tail - securely held between his cheeks!! He was led across the room and in his best high pitch goat voice he squeaked “hhhotttt, hhhottt, hhhottt”.

Crawling on hands and knees to a makeshift marquee, he scuttled under then turned to the audience and said “cooooollll, coooollll, coooollll”.

Needless to say he got a standing ovation once half of the older community in the room, picked themselves up off the floor laughing.

We were very grateful to be one of several groups who shared $6,500 in community grant money on November 18, very generously put up by the Board of the Bendigo Community Bank, Canungra & District.

Bank Chairperson, Janine Rockliff invited the “MGBA Team” to follow-up with a visit to the Canungra Bendigo Community Bank for a photoshoot with some little miniature goats which was a real hit with the staff and locals December 2.

The goats enjoyed the car ride and very happily cuddled with the crew in the bank, away from the wet weather.

We are very grateful to the Bendigo Bank and Board and thank them for their support in our wonderful community.

We are hoping to develop a strong partnership with reciprocating benefits for us all, in the future.

I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce our Australian NUWBY goat and answer a few silently asked questions about this beautiful and exotic looking breed [writer: Sue Ludwig].

Our Australian NUWBY goats were created accidentally in 1999 when two of our naughty little bush goats decided that they would scale a six foot fence to “chat” with a HUGE full blood anglo nubian buck that was permanently kept separated from the small goats we kept.

Five months passed and these two little girls 22" in height, both had the most exquisitely coloured, longer eared, longer bodied sets of twins with beautiful arched noses that breeders far and wide fell in love with. This is when our Nuwby breed was born.

We had wanted to call these new types “mini-nubians” however the dairy goat group/breeders warned us against using their breed(s) names. So the name “Nuwby” was created from a mixture of the words “New” and Anglo “Nubian” with a “y” at the end to add a “cuteness” factor.

We spent copious amounts of time creating our ideal “Breed Standards” published in August 2000 that are still in use today.

We used combinations of Boer, Kalahari and Anglo Nubian, the first two adding muscling and both being shorter in stature than

the Anglo Nubian.

The Anglo Nubian brought in their beautiful gentle friendly nature, the exquisite colour patterns, those beautifully long pendulous bell shaped ears and roman nose that softened the whole look of these animals.

They also added a beautiful well built, easy milking udder under a long capacious body that was capable of holding multiple kids easily during pregnancy, with

room for a full rumen that drives high milk production while maintaining good muscling.

Our animals were heavier and well-muscled rather than overly refined with excessive dairiness.

They were designed for the backyard and hobby farmer and were built to be robust and were full of hybrid vigour.

Dedicated Breeders worked hard over many generations to bring the heights down AND blend the body shape and ear length to create an animal within the height requirements - not higher than 25" (63.5cm). Many animals were registered over this height they were known as our "foundation" animals recorded in the lower Grades.

BREED ARTICLE Breeders selectively chose small animals with flatter ear structure to help fix the pendulous ears and some of these introduced a mohair/cashmere component to the breeding circle.

Many reputable hard working breeders were successful in their endeavours to create this beautiful breed and had it recognised in the show ring at our very first show in Laidley July 2006.

So today, with the introduction of the Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf goats, our new generation of Nuwby Goat Breeders are crossing Nigerian Dwarf with Ango Nubian (Mini Nubians) to produce a smaller dairy type that

Page 35. resembles the larger Anglo Nubian.

They are also crossing Pygmy with Anglo Nubians (Kinder) to produce a dual purpose type that also resembles the Anglo Nubian but with much more muscling and heavier weights.

These guys can also be recorded in the Nuwby breed.

Our NUWBY breed height was set at 60cm for the Purebred female and 63.5cm for the Purebred male.

Our show heights back then were animals not to exceed 63.5cm which allowed for the foundation females who were a bit taller to participate.

Bouncing Hooves Charm 2002

The idea was to create a MINIATURE version of these full size goats always aware that the Boer goat was a medium sized heavy set animal (Boer Goat Association) so our Nuwby goats needed to be smaller than this.

BREED ARTICLE Breed Characteristics – contrary to popular belief, the Nuwby goat is not just an “ear” breed. Yes, ears are obviously a breed characteristic but the arched facial profile - exotic head on a longer neck and longer body, balanced length of leg and beautifully attached easily milked udder all form part of this breed’s ideal standard of excellence.

Breeding these guys was difficult at times because most of our Australian Miniatures (also Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf) had the classic alert, upright well-structured ears and more compact bodies so the first cross lost a lot of the ear and nose quality and length of body that we were selecting for.

The kids were usually born with "aeroplane" ears, straighter facial profiles and lacked substance.

This is where a good eye for selection of the foundation

Page 36. parent was important. Our Aussie Minis with known Boer/Kalahari genetics in their background, having the ideal medium flat ears, good length of body and shorter stature were ideal for these crosses.

Breeders with these animals were able to combine the desired traits and produce beautiful offspring meeting the height requirements that were always highly sort after.

The Boer and Kalahari (meat) goats brought in the muscling giving these animals a rounder body and removing a lot of the dairy refinement so these guys always looked well fed (great for the “Pet Market”).

The Kalahari enhanced the rich colour and the Anglo Nubian brought in the highly sort after colours and patterns and of course, their gentle nature fantastic for the junior handlers.

FROM THE ARCHIVES… We also worked with capretto farmers who used Boer X Anglo Nubian bucks over rangeland and cashmere does to produce better bodies (longer).

We were lucky enough to purchase the smaller does who produced some of these below who then produced the next generations (grade in brackets);

With the importation of Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf genetics, the Nuwby goat “Grading system” was reviewed and adjusted to allow up to 50% imported genetics within this breed.

In USA, MINI NUBIANS (MN) work within a 25-75% of either breed at any generation (Miniature Goat Association USA).

BREED ARTICLE

All breedings work on offspring being one generation (or in our case "Grade") higher than the lowest generation (Grade) parent with the foundation parents being allocated generation 0 (G0) or our “Entry Level”.

G0 + G0 = G1 …. our equivalent is Entry Level (Anglo Nubian) + Entry Level (Nigerian) = Grade D G1 + G1 = G2 and so on…..

Grade D + Grade D = Grade C. Any generation (or Grade) can be bred together with resulting progeny one Grade higher than the lowest Grade parent.

Australian Miniature GB /GA /PB /HB, Aussie/Pygmy 50% and Aussie/Nigerian Dwarf 50% are eligible as one Grade B parent to

Page 38.

produce Grade A offspring that conform to the Nuwby breed standards PROVIDED that the Grade B (or above) Nuwby parent conforms to the Nuwby breed standard.

Grade B Aussie X Grade B Nuwby = Grade A Nuwby (conforming to breed standards) Grade C Aussie X Grade C Nuwby = Grade B Nuwby Grade A Nuwby X Grade A Nuwby to produce Purebred Nuwby, conforming to the breed standard for registration and purebred allocation purposes.

If you were to breed a full Anglo Nubian, Boer, Kalahari back to a Grade animal the resulting offspring would Grade as D.

The Nuwby only allows 50% imported genetics, anything over this would be registered in the "import" breed with MGBA. So what are they used for?

Whatever the answer, they must not have any faults that will cause difficulty with functioning, eating, walking, milking, breeding...

What are we looking for? Sweet disposition, gentle and cooperative and easy to manage while milking; A good udder, strong attachment that holds the compartments well above the ground to prevent

BREED ARTICLE damage from bumping or stepping on it or the teats; Correctly sized teats, that you can get your hand around easily to milk with no interference from sprig teats or issues with double orifices; We don’t want them too short because we want to have plenty of room for a well-developed udder so we are preferring does to be on the top end of the height requirements without losing the “miniature” appearance.

Good milk capacity - enough to feed multiple kids and leave some for the family if it was wanted; Good feet to carry them from feed to water and hold them up easily for breeding/gestation; Great rump and capacity for easy kidding with no complications.

Good conformation does not have to be show quality, they just need to be able to function comfortably and have sustainable longevity.

Pedigree and high percentage /Grades does not guarantee quality, rather look at production records - kiddings, milk volumes /butter fat, show results if available.

For those interested in a larger volume producing doe, look for a lower grade closer to the first cross or second cross with a stronger presence of the Anglo Nubian structure and traits in the animal. Of course these animals will be taller and have more room for a larger udder.

Finally, nutrition, health testing and vaccination of animals promotes wellbeing and should

Page 39. be considered when looking at the quality of the animals – genetically small, not nutritionally small….

The BREED STANDARD About The Breed The Nuwby Goat portrays elegance and nobility with its regal upright stance, its exotic facial profile and its gentle and graceful temperament.

Origin: The Nuwby Goat is an Australian breed that was originally developed by pairing Boer, Anglo Nubian and Kalahari goats of excellent type from both purebred and cross bred lines with carefully selected smaller breeds of goats to produce a small elegant often colourful animal with a gentle nature.

Temperament: Gentle and loveable, easily trainable. The Nuwby is a graceful, elegant animal with a gentle, friendly temperament.

The Nuwby goat is created by crossing Anglo Nubian and or Boer/Kalahari goats with miniature goats. Any ratio of miniature to Anglo Nubian / Boer / Kalahari is acceptable.

Monthly Goat Health Webinars The MGBA are so excited to announce our very own Goat Guru, Sandra Baxendell from Goatvetoz has agreed to provide monthly webinars for our Members.

Uses /Suitability: Great for families looking for backyard mini milkers who also make great pets. Their gentle nature makes them the perfect pet for both young and old and they are great companion animals for other species too. A well-bred Nuwby can produce enough milk for the family each day some of which can be used to make cheese, yogurt and even soap. Goat manure is very high in nitrogen, and is great for the garden.

Size: Dedicated Breeders continue to work on both refinement of type and reduction of height with an ideal maximum height of 60cm for adult purebred females and 63.5cm for adult purebred males.

HERD BOOK - Does: ideally under 60cm , Bucks / Wethers: ideally under 63.5cm.

PUREBRED - Does: ideally under 60cm , Bucks / Wethers: ideally under 63.5cm.

GRADE A – Does: ideally under 61cm , Bucks / Wethers: ideally under 64cm GRADE B – Does: ideally under 62cm , Bucks / Wethers: ideally under 65cm GRADE C – Does: ideally under 64cm , Bucks / Wethers: ideally under 66cm GRADE D – Does: ideally under 66cm , Bucks / Wethers: ideally under 66cm FOUNDATION COMMERCIAL: Over height animals may be used in the development of the miniature breed with their progeny being eligible for

inclusion in the lower grades provided such progeny meet the height requirements for the breed.

throughout the grading up process. Up to 50% import genetics (Pygmy/Nigerian Dwarf) allowed.

For showing purposes: Upright ears are a disqualification.

All miniature breeds (AM/ND/PY) will be suitable for second parent in Nuwby breeding.

Mastitis Case Experience to share Maddie Hunger October 27,2021 This is NOT advice but an example to share to hopefully assist another breeder if the need arises.

We had a 7 year old doe who this year had a single kid. She has kidded previously multiple times including quads and she’s never had any udder issues previously.

Her milk didn’t particularly come in very well compared to usual, but having a single we have had this happen in the past. Concerned she wouldn’t have enough colostrum for her baby once born and not having any left on hand we were lucky an awesome breeder nearby could help us out with some from their tested herd.

The first day after kidding the milk she had was reasonable, although not much of it and not very thick.

Went out to feed the doe around 7:30pm and I should’ve noticed then that she wasn’t particularly interested in her feed, but with lots of other things going on didn’t think too much of it.

The following morning (2nd day post kidding) went out and she was unable to stand, her front legs were really shakey and she would collapse down even when holding her up. A bit dull in her eyes and a bit puffy in the face. Temperature was 40.1 degrees a Celsius.

Checked her milk, one side not bad the other clear like water. Not stringy or bloody like other mastitis we have treated. Her quarter (well half I suppose but cow udder terminology lol) was quite firm but up really high.

Vet was called as we were concerned with how sick she was that the blood poisoning might beat us. On arrival our vet was also very concerned that she might not survive.

Our Vet administered 8mls of Alamycin intravenously (this is A LOT higher dose that what we would typically give if administering ourselves), and 3mls of Metacam also intravenously. We stripped the bad side of the udder out as much as possible and also gave half a tube of intramammory oxytet and completed the course as per instructions. Also gave her 3 mls of Vitamin C. Repeated the course of antibiotics for 5 days dropping the dose to 5mls intramuscular. She did not require a second dose of metacam. Also continued the Vit C injections and she received this 3 times in total.

She has now made a full recovery.

Again this is NOT advice for other cases but an example to hopefully be of some help/reference to someone if you find yourself in a similar situation.

It is supplied for general reference & educational purposes only. This information does not represent the management practices or thinking of all goat breeders and/or the veterinary community. Any person making the decision to act upon this information must consult with a Veterinarian first and is solely responsible for the effects of their own actions.

Goat Lice are small (only 1-2mm long) and are grey or cream in colour and are host specific (don’t live on other species).

Signs of infestation include dull coat and loss of body condition, (due to blood sucking), the coat is often quite ragged in appearance.

Self-Limiting Lice are usually a self-limiting infestation. Well-fed goats in good general health will carry very few lice.

Infested goats will shrug off infestations when their conditions improve, usually with a rising plane of nutrition in early spring.

Further Information Contact your Veterinary practitioner or Department of Primary industries in your state.

Printed with permission from NSW DPI & F

Lice spread by direct contact between goats and may also be transferred between animals by human contact, grooming equipment, shared housing etc.

Infestation seems to be worst in the cooler months, probably because the animal has a coat offering protection to the lice.

Treatment with chemical insecticide is always affective. Stalls and yards should be treated too and left empty for 4 days.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. And contact the Vet or DPI for a suitable product (some products are not to be used on goats).

….a snippet of what we do (Judges Course)…..

I

MODULE 4: KNOWLEDGE – Breed Standards (Breed/Type) All Judges must strive to preserve and protect the integrity of a breed and always encourage excellence in the show ring.

Each breed standard is the guideline that describes the ideal characteristics, temperament and appearance of a particular breed. Animals that do not meet the minimum breed standards should not be placed by the Judge in the show ring regardless of how good the conformation might be.

A Breed Standard must ensure that the breed is fit for function with soundness for longevity essential. Judges are mindful of features that could be detrimental in any way to the health, welfare or soundness of any given breed.

Animals at ALL times must exhibit beauty, cleanliness, style and regardless of coat type, the animal must be prepared to look like it should be in the show ring.

GENERAL APPEARANCE - BREED CHARACTER – they must look like the breed.

Buyer & Seller Checklist  DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!

This article can be used by both Buyer and Seller and is a good foundation CHECK LIST that covers some of the most important basics of the buying & selling processes…..

You have decided to purchase your first pair of miniature goats, first thing to check is with your local council and livestock rules;  are you allowed to keep goats  and how many are you allowed to keep?

If the answer is YES, the next job is to apply for a property identification code (PIC). This is FREE with your local government – it can be done online, you will need rates details for property description etc.  PIC obtained.

While you are waiting for this to be processed, now would be a good time to check where you intended on housing your new editions.

They will need;  shelter ;  good fencing to keep them in and keep dogs out;  clean water and;  feed containers for hay, chaff & grain if fed.



Check that you have a stock feed supplier close by and now would be a good time to call the Vets in your area to check which one(s) care for farm livestock and not just small animals.  Livestock Vet phone:___________________  Livestock Vet phone:___________________ Seller’s will want to know these things have been done before starting a sale.

What do you want to do with them?  PETS;  BREEDING;  PETS WITH OPTION OF BREEDING;  SHOWING;  MILKING;  CHEESE MAKING;  SOAP MAKING;  HAIR FOR SPINNING;  WEED CONTROL;  COMPANION ANIMAL(S);  SUPPORT ANIMALS….

Each will have its own list of questions and animals will need to meet certain criteria to be able to fulfil your needs for example – a female goat will need to have kidded and be a milking breed to produce enough milk for cheese and soap making; a goat would need a mohair or cashmere coat for spinning, desexed males make the best pets but they are not your option if you want to breed down the track…..

Once you have an idea of what you want to do with your new goats, you will have an idea of the type of goats you will be looking for.

Now….Surf, Surf, Surf, Surf, SURF!!!

Youtube, Facebook, goat association sites, goat health, goat care, books, breeders, go to shows and talk to exhibitors / breeders / judges / stewards, there is a wealth of valuable information

EDUCATION & TRAINING

out there, arm yourself so you can distinguish between what you want and what you don’t want.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!

Now it’s time to find the little ones you want – when you speak with the seller(s), ask lots of questions, make sure the animals you are looking at will fit the purpose(s) that you want them for.

It’s better to wait and get what you want rather than settle for what is available at the time, only to be disappointed that the animal(s) can’t be used for what you wanted in the first place.



health – bright eyes, clear breathing, no discharge, CLEAN eyes, nose, tail, coat;  FAMACHA score (inner eyelids not too pale – indication of worms and or anaemia).

Discuss any guarantee or “fit for purpose” and of course payment method.

Check that you will be given;  a completed WAYBILL or TSS for animal movement;  request a national goat health statement and;  test results for JD & CAE.

DON’T RUSH IN. Now CHECK what you are paying for –  check registration information against the animals permanent identification - ear tag, microchip, DNA  discuss breed, pedigree, grades, (percentages for pygmy and nigerian dwarf breeding).

Can you view parents as this is always a great indication of how big your little ones are going to get – if you are buying youngsters.

Check….  heights on paperwork (parents / grandparents);  heights of your potential purchases;  feed requirements;  health status – testing (Johnes & CAE/CRV),  vaccinations;  parasite control and;  hoof maintenance.

Get details on all other management requirements for each purpose you have selected them for.

Check over the animal…  height;  weight – they look in good condition – not too skinny and not way too fat (can affect fertility)  feet trimming (some sellers will show you how);



Do you need a Service Certificate for pregnant animals? You will if you purchase them.  DNA certificate (pygmy / nigerian dwarf) for parents (if they don’t have parents verified on their own certificate),  hair sample from the sire and dam is “best practice” when buying pygmy and nigerian dwarf animals with no copies of paperwork offered.

Once the sale is made, it can be hard to get those details later especially if you are buying from nonMGBA members or those closing down.  Did you get a receipt? Some write payment on the WAYBILL – it has all the details on it. Its good practice to write email addresses on the waybill too.

Keep all your paperwork in a folder for safe keeping.

And finally, TRANSPORT home – but that’s another story…..

Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of mini goat ownership!!
