FY 2023 Goat Sampling Minimums

* Based on all NVSL-confirmed cases as of September 30, 2022

*** In FY 2021, minimums were calculated based on regions which resulted in States in some regions having to sample a higher percentage of their breeding population. In FY 2022 this was 

changed so that all States sample the same percentage of their breeding population (0.4% to a maximum of 1,000 goats). In States where this resulted in an increase in the minimum for FY 

2022, the increase was capped at 10% of the FY 2021 minimums. For FY 2023 we are capping the increase at 10% over FY 2022 minimums or the actual number collected in FY 2021, 

whichever is greater.

**FY 2020 minimums were adjusted to 81% of original minimums and FY 2021 minimums were adjusted to 74% of original minimums due to COVID 19 restrictions.
