What
is CODI PCI?
|
Back in the early
90's a exotic animal
importer called
Jurgan Shultz had a
vision to bring some
of the finest goats
in South Africa to
the USA. To enable
this dream he got
together with 4
wealthy backers, and
spent 6 months and
22,000 miles finding
400 of the VERY BEST
quality goats
available, and many
that were not
available, he got
anyway.
400 is not a lot by
SA standards, and
could be done in an
afternoon, if you
were not looking for
the very best, but
the fact that it
took 6 months, tells
anyone Jurgan was
VERY picky what he
bought.
The animals were
corralled at the
Jordaans, and were
tagged with a YELLOW
TRIANGLE tag that
said CODI/PCI, the
CODI means CAMELIDS
OF DELAWARE INC this
is Jurgans import
company name, the
PCI means PET CENTER
INTERNATIONAL which
is in Ca, & which I
assume did the
paperwork.
The animals were
also tattooed in the
flank for safety.
The original live
imports carry an
import # TX630/***,
the animals that
were born in
quarantine carry the
#TX631/***, Jurgan
Shultz registered as
a SA breeder ( I
assume as a
formalitiy) the herd
prefix 994, and the
animals will also
have this plus there
# on the
registration papers
EI:...994/***.
The animals survived
horrible conditions
in the hot humid
quarantine pens,
some died and some
were born and some
got bred, this vast
herd then moved to
Jurgans Ranch in
Lampasas TX, were
they lived, and were
raised, then in 1996
Jurgan decided to
disperse this great
herd, and people
were eager to get
them, as what had
been imported thus
far from SA, was far
less quality than
these so now called
CODI goats.
There may only be a
handful of those
originals now alive,
and they are around
10-12 years old, and
the first born are
about 8 &9 years
old, but what an
impact they have
made on the Boer
Goat Industry, they
are exceptional
producing animals,
many of our most
famous winners are
born from CODI
foundation goats,
PIPELINE'S mother
was a CODI, and of
course KAPTEIN,
FRANCES was a CODI,
LYLE'S mother was a
CODI, BULLDOG'S
mother was a CODI,
RENIOR was a CODI,
all national or
reserve Champions,
2001 Jr National
Champion was out of
a Codi bred doe,
some of Ryals most
well known bucks
have a CODI
foundation/ POWELL/HOLMANS
great doe BIG MAMA
was a CODI, the list
is
endless....................not
any others can say
this.
Jurgan Shultz
realized his vision
and brought the best
of SA to the USA,
and started this
Boer Goat
revolution, just one
man with a dream, to
bring us the best.
The animals are
tremendous to lay a
great foundation to
any breeding
program.
It
is very important
that these CODI
numbers are
preserved on the
registration papers,
and I urge everyone
with CODI animals to
make sure they are
not omitted, which
is what the ABGA is
tending to do, it
will be very hard to
recognize CODI
bloodline animals
without these
numbers on the
papers, just an ABGA
number means
absolutely nothing
to a CODI breeder,
we want that 994
number on the papers
too know were that
animal was bred
from, so we can
preserve this GREAT
foundation blood for
the future. |
