Guys,
Starting up my purebred Kiko herd and just got my first 3 Kikos and my donkey last week. They are doing great. What I just found out is that the NKR (National Kiko Registration) is not recognized by the IKGA (International Kiko Goat Association) or the AKGA (American Kiko Goat Association). One of the most reputable breeders I'm getting goats from only registers goats with the NKR.
For anyone who understands this mess, please explain to me. I'm new in the goat business of course and as soon as I get into it, seems like the registration and DNA part of it has people who disagree with each other in a major way. Sounds like the business will suffer b/c of predictaments b/t breeders from around the country.
If anyone knows what has happened, please explain this to me so I'm not in the dark! Sounds like a mess but a mess I need to figure out!
Thank you in advance.
