Finding a registered breeder to buy from and choosing registered animals can help to make sure that you know exactly what you are buying. See our pages about the individual goat and sheep breeds if you are wondering which breed to choose.
Before you can move goats or sheep to your property, by law you need to get a Property Identification Code (PIC) from your state agricultural authority and register with the National Livestock Identification System. Your breeder will provide you with a National Vendor Declaration to lodge in the NLIS system.
