All my does could easily get their 'stars', but at this time I have no interest in jumping through that hoop. My usda elite doe broke her old record and gave 81 oz at peak and when trying to dry off was still giving 36 oz while being milked ONLY once a day. 

 

My small herd consists of many champions and the following herd names either now or in the past:

Buttin Heads                    Caesar’s Villa                    Camanna
Castle Rock                      Copper Penny
Country Caprines               Dill’s
Esperanza                         Flat Rocks
Gay-Mor                            Gay-Mor’s
Goodwood                         Inavale
Little Tots                          Lost Valley
Mountain Quest                 Northern Fork
Pholia Farm                       Piddlin Acres
Ponders End                      Proctor Hill Farm Promisedland                     Rosasharn                                Shadowmountain               Starbucks                                 Tiny Toes                          Twin Creeks                              Urban Acres                      Valley View                               Viking’s                            Woodhaven

My goats could do well on DHI test, but there are a few reasons I don't do it yet. One is that my original goal was healthy milk, but pushing for production by feeding large amounts of grain is not healthy for me or them. There are other reasons too. I am a certified tester and the scale calibration was a joke. Using a different hanging 'bucket' to calibrate rather than using the one I'll use makes it all obsolete now doesn't it? Yet, that is how it was done, so who knows about the scales that belong to others.

   I don't show yet either sans a couple times with a buck. I really don't want to expose my goats to fairground buildings and other goats or stress them out by taking them places.

   This doesn't mean I never will, but it is not right for me at this time.

    I do measure the milking at my home and I do send in samples to be tested. I am more than happy to prove their accuracy and share the test results.

   I have done linear appraisal and I like the option because that is a score that stays with the goat and compares to the perfect goat on top of that. (The score card.) But ADGA was ruthless and ripped me off. AGS does a similar process and it is called classification. They are half the price of adga.

   I also do not belong to the disease of the month club. I prefer to spend my time making sure my goats are healthy and fed a healthy natural diet.

Here is a baby fast asleep after his first meal. (MilkNKids Phantshado Lil Brich X MilkNKids Stay Upwind Shadow) His dam is below as well as on my doe page. I bucket feed or bottle feed.

This little doeling is all grown up now. (A Mystic Acres doe born Feb 2012.) Lil Brich. I almost sold her, but she is nice and actually is flat across her hips. (hip to hip)
