GOSA Frequently Asked Questions

This is a list of FAQs that have been asked regarding the GOS breed, the registry, membership and breeding questions, and otherwise helpful information. If you have a question that you don't see here, please use the form below to submit it to the GOSA registry.

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
