1. I have a question on the litter registration form. Under "pedigree of litter", there are two spaces, one for "Sire/Dam..." and one for registration number of the sires/dams. What information goes on the Sire/Dam lines?
Answer: The animal name, if the sire and dam have one - such as Gus or LFF Sugar.
2. When should I renew my membership dues?
Answer: Membership payments are due at the first of the year annually.
3. How do I best pair pigs?
Answer: You want to look at the GOSA Breed Standard, and select for traits that will complement and excel any misgiving traits. You will want to do a CI % check, to be sure the pigs are not too closely related.
4. How do I get a CI, Coefficient Inbreeding percentage for a possible pairing?
Answer: Send Pedigrees of Sire and Dam, Or Grandsire and Granddam to Registrar@GOSAmerica.org
