Hi Nann
I still need to send you the files for the "informal" packgoat registry that we started when Dwite was forced to downsize his herd. I currently have close to 200 goats in that registry. Most of them are from Dwite's stock but there are a handful of other goats that are from other lines. We have a varying degree of information on each individual goat. I'll try to make sure that all of the photos are added to that registry and re-remember how to upload the files to One Drive so you can take a look at what we have so far. Ultimately I would hope that NAPgA either take over what we have or incorporate what we have started into a more formal packgoat registry.
I can see how logging the number of miles each goat has traveled would be a fun statistic to track but that piece of information is something that not every goat owner is going to track, track accurately, or even care about when it gets right down to it. I think things that should definitely be recorded, whenever possible, are parents names, dates of birth, whether horned, disbudded, or naturally polled, sex (buck, doe, whether), breed (or as much information as possible regarding breed/crosses), identification (tatoos, microchips, etc.), possibly height, weight statistics once they reach 4 years of age, etc.
I would be more than happy to collaborate and assist with getting a formal registry going.
