Understanding Kid Color and Fiber Type
Pygora kids are born with their out-of-fleece guard hair color, which is darker than the in-fleece color that they acquire when their softer fleece begins to come in at two months or older. The out-of-fleece color is indicated on their PBA Pre-Registration Application.
The in-fleece color, determined when a 2" square sample is taken once the fleece comes in fully at 8-12 months, is almost always much lighter than the out-of-fleece guard hair color. This 2" fleece sample is used by the PBA Registrar to determine the fleece Type as well, which is then listed on the Permanent Registration Certificate.
considering fleece color and type
Hooper's fleece color at birth was black, but the dark chocolate brown color around his muzzle hinted that his out-of-fleece color would become Dark Brown Agouti, you can see white on his ears and at places intermingled with his dark brown fleece.
Hooper's fleece began to come in lighter and lighter until at 3-4 months it was a rich Caramel color that contrasted nicely with his dark brown out-of-fleece color.
The looseness of the curl in his crimpy locks suggested that while his fleece had Type A characteristics, it would register as Type B fleece.
Jamocha was a dark chocolate kid out-of-fleece just like Hooper, but her in-fleece color became a more decidedly Brown color with auburn hues. Jamocha's Type B fleece has shorter and tighter locks than Hooper's Type B fleece.
Below you will see Jamocha in her out-of-fleece color, Thomas in his Caramel out-of-fleece color with very Light Caramel in-fleece color, white Delta Dawn with her Type A long

MMF Kids are Pre-Registered

- Directions for Permanent Registration can be found at the PBA Registration link .
- Prices for individual goats may vary depending upon pedigree. Prior to selection payments being made, kid prices are subject to change as fleece comes in and fleece coverage levels are determined.
Permanently Register Your Pygora
- It is IMPORTANT TO PERMANENTLY REGISTER YOUR NEW PYGORA AT 6-8 MONTHS, when their full-fleece is at its prime.
- ALL Pygoras should be permanently registered by one-year of age.
Advantages of Permanent Registration
- You may show your registered Pygora goat or its fleece in sanctioned Pygora goat shows.
- You may market your goat and its fiber as “Pygora.”
- The word “Pygora is registered with the PBA, and only fiber, kids and other products from registered Pygora goats may be labeled “Pygora.”
Permanent Registration Steps
- Take a full color side-view photo of the goat in-fleece with head facing camera.
- Cut a 2” square fleece sample from the barrel, the rib cage area, and place the sample in a zip lock sandwich size baggie.
- Label the bag with the goat’s name, date of birth, tattoo letters and numbers, the date the sample was taken and the in-fleece color. (See PBA Color Chart if needed.)
- Place the printed color side-view photo, the fleece sample, your Registration Completion form and the goat’s Pre-Registration Certificate in an envelope and mail to PBA Registrar (See PBA Directory for name and address.)
