Who Is CAGBA? Why Should I Belong?
CAGBA is the only member association dedicated to Colored Angora Goat breeders in North America and is the original Colored Angora Goat Registry in the country.
CAGBA is recognized as an exempt livestock association under IRC 501(c)(5), defined in part as organizations that:

in their respective occupations.”— Reg. 1.501(c)(5)-1(a)
CAGBA is owned and operated entirely by its members, and all officials are unpaid volunteers who support both the membership and the goals of the organization.

How to Register an Animal
Recording vs. Registering
In the early days, the Colored Angora Goat Record (CAG Record) was created to support breeders developing Colored Angora Goats. Its purpose was to:
- Track the pedigrees of animals used in Colored Angora breeding programs.
- Help identify color genetics and patterns.
- Bring breeders together to share ideas, experience, and breeding stock.
No color or quality standard is required to record a goat. The only requirement is that the goats—colored or white—are being used to produce Colored Angoras. Recorded animals receive a Record Number for tracking.
Requirements for Registration
- Both Dam and Sire must be registered.
- The animal must be identified with a tattoo, microchip, ear tag, or ear notch.

Registration Page.
