Last week Sam applied to register the herd name “Summer Young”, and as of today, July 12, she is an official breeder with the Canadian Goat Society! The hardest part of the whole process was picking three other alternative name choices if Summer Young was not available. The names “Grass Valley”, “Gidgets” and “Little Country” were all submitted as second, third and fourth choices. Thankfully, Sam’s first choice was approved! The tattoo letters SYT were also chosen. This stands for “Summer Young Toggenburgs” (in case it was not obvious!).

Tip Top Cocoa Cream is the only goat Sam currently has registered under her name. She is awaiting her starter kit that is in the mail, so she can figure out how to register Spirit as a purebred Toggenburg, or at least as a grade doe. Sam also needs to get a little bit more information on Spirit’s bloodlines before registering her.
