Breeder members also enjoy :
1.
Selling your Stock
Advertising your stock has never been easier. Simply fill in a for sale form, located through the members page and email to admin@miniaturegoatsaustralia.com along with a good clear picture and it will be added to the for sale page on the for sale page. Advertisements will be deleted after 3 months unless you advise before hand that the animal/s is/has been sold.

3.
Free Stud Registration
Stud registration is Free for the life of your membership only.
4.
Members Only Facebook Page
MGA have a members only Facebook page and made the decision to keep it locked to members only so as you feel comfortable to ask questions, tell your stories, add photos and debate topics without the general public watching on.
MGA also have a public Facebook page to post photos (with your stud referenced), to advertise events and to speak to the public.
5.
Free Wether Registrations
ALL wethers are free to register. Miniature Goats Australia offers this so as to capture ALL progeny born. If wethers are not registered there is no way of knowing how many male kids have been born to a Doe and therefore records are incomplete and not accurate. Also that cute little wether you sell will have an authentic Australian Miniature Goat Registration Certificate to go with him. He will not just be a pet goat.
6.
Association Forms
Forms are a necessary evil but Miniature Goats Australia have made it as simple as possible. Most of our forms are automated and easy to use. We will still have paper forms for internet outages and for anyone not comfortable using a computer.
