📬 ADGA Business Office Update

Great news — the ADGA Business Office is processing registrations within our normal turnaround time, with most work completed within five business days. 🎉

With the busy spring and summer seasons behind us, now is a great time to take care of any paperwork you’ve been meaning to submit — registrations, re-tattoos, transfers, corrections, or anything else lingering on your to-do list.

🧬 Planning to use a buck this fall? Don’t forget to submit his DNA before breeding! Taking care of DNA requirements now can help prevent delays or complications later when registering kids.

✅ Registration paperwork? Send it in.
✅ Transfers sitting on the counter? Now’s the time.
✅ Bucks headed to the breeding pen? Get that DNA submitted first!

Take advantage of the quieter processing season and get ahead of your fall breeding plans. 🐐
