There are two classifications within the registry:

Blue Card and Red Card

Blue Card goats must meet the breed standard and have a distinctly, predominantly colored fleece.

Red Card goats must meet the breed standard and may have a white or lightly colored fleece. (Faded red, white color carriers, off-white, blue, and goats with colored faces/legs receive Red Cards.)

Physical inspections are generally held in conjunction with an event, although an inspection can be coordinated outside of an event/show. To have your goat inspected, you need to complete a CAGBA Registry Inspection Application and send the application and fee to the inspection coordinator.

Each animal is inspected by at least three inspectors.

Photo inspections are generally coordinated through the regional directors. This process is more expensive due to shipping costs involved in mailing fleeces, but this may be an option for owners unable to transport their animals to a physical inspection. To have your goat inspected, you need to complete a CAGBA Registry Inspection Application and send the application and fee to the inspection coordinator.
