3rd tag is too much.

2 tag is okay, let say left ear for farm tag and right ear is for association tag.

This was a dead topic that i saw and i think should be revived.  Is there some way we can start some sort of bloodline standard?  Something cheap that a backyard farmer can even do.

Well,its not so simple.First one has to know and understand the breed standard for each breed.How does one know what a good goat looks like when one needs to know what a bad goat looks like.Understanding the breed standard is parmount first, then knowing what a dairy doe and sire should look like.There is a wealth of information on this on the net and the breed standards are universal.The standard would have to be the universal breed standard and take it from there.Sure,it can be done just alot of work and knowledge one needs to understand.To have the experience of a live goat show allows you to see for yourself what the judges are looking for in the breed.

How many people really understand weak udder attachments,where is the shelf on the udder,escutcheon to low,medial suspension,teats too bulbous,teats tilt in,teats tilt out,teats to forward,to far back and beefy flanks.Or weak chine,steep rump,sickled hocked,short thick neck,roached loin and steep rump,weak chest and posty leg.

In the future I think the industry will adapt to a standards or some sort and the understanding and knowledge or what a good goat is suppose to look like.This industry is new and will take some time to learn everything that goes with this business.Everything in good time.

I definitely agree now after reading more about this standard.  Philippines is not ready to have one yet, but the industry is heading there.  It's a not priority right now because of other things that requires more attention.  It's not just the knowledge but training experts, but placing an expert in each region and training them.  I can foresee a structural nightmare.
