2007 found us once again hitting the road to attend a couple of
shows. As most of you probably already know, getting "off the farm"
when you have livestock, especially dairy animals, is very difficult and
the combination of finding someone to cover chores/milking,
the distance to shows and climbing gasoline prices will be a
limiting factors in the number of shows we will be able to attend
this year but it is fun to get to see how our animals do in the
show ring and to see our goat show acquaintances again too.
Show updates have been included on the individual doe pages.
2007 was our third year that we were able to participate in in DHIA test.
We have had several more does earn their milk stars which, as the
previous years is a feat in itself given our hectic and erratic milking
schedule as work and other farm duties take us away from a
regular chore schedule.
We
once again were able to participate in Linear Appraisal in 2007.
Our appraisal was late in the year and we had some animals score
higher
and some drop lower than previous years and you will see this on our
doe pages. We feel that Linear Appraisal is a wonderful tool to
see our herd's strengths and weaknesses and we feel that the best way
to see the overall picture of our herd is to post all our scores, the
good and not as good. We also feel it will help visitors get a
better feel to how our lines mature also.
