adga Linear Appraisal
We aim to participate in the ADGA linear appraisal program every other year if life allows. A linear appraiser comes out to the farm to evaluate every goat in the herd, discusses its qualities (both good and bad) and based on those qualities (actual measurements), determines letters and numbers that help goat breeders better understand every single aspect and area of the animal. It is such an amazing learning opportunity and has allowed us to not only better understand traits and characteristics of individual goats but also better evaluate, plan, and strive to develop a stronger herd. We highly recommend those who are thinking about breeding and showing goats attend a linear appraisal session. So far we have participated in two linear appraisal sessions (2017 and 2019). We aim to be a host herd location so that other herds and farm are able to come participate and learn along with us. Linear appraisal is a time where goat breeders can come together to talk goats, share our excitement, and make new friends! Feel free to shoot us a message with any interest in doing or being apart of a linear appraisal session in the future.
