Phil recently completed the new website for NAPgA and he is seriously considering setting up an online packgoat registry so our goats can all be in a permanent database somewhere. That way if they are ever lost or stolen, there is a positive way to identify them. Eventually it would be a good way to track bloodlines and it could also track goats that are sold or died. Part of the registry would be a mileage counter for each goat so that pack trips could be logged with miles covered each day and the amount of weight (if any) each goat packed. In time, this could be a good way to track which breeds tend to do better for distance and/or weight, how long goats hold up as workers, if certain bloodlines produce better packers, etc. It would also just be plain fun to see what all of our goats have done as the miles add up over their lifetimes. Goats that are sold would have their mileage transfer with them to the new owner if that person is a NAPgA member.
What do y'all think? Would this be a fun feature for NAPgA to add that would give concrete value to our members?
