ADGA Genetics

I feel so lucky to have been able to bring home another beautiful doe from Naomi Counides.  Lizzy has it all - from her smooth topline and rear leg angularity, her broad face with strong breed character in her nose and ears, sturdy legs and pasterns.  Combining her strength and the balance of her proportions, she really embodies ADGA’s term “dairy strength.”

As a baby she was a super-sweetie, as a yearling first freshener, she was full of it, she accessed more stuff above my head in the milking house than any other goat has attempted!  Now all grown-up, Lizzy is an excellent mother and a powerhouse (yet well-behaved one) on the milking stand.  I believe this 2019 season she will actually deliver on that in her DHI reports as well.

Lizzy’s first linear appraisal session certainly brought some disappointing scoring, but then she jumped up in her second session and keeps improving with age.  We look forward to her next LA session, hopefully in the 2019 season.
