On every doe's page that was on test and appraised you will see a DHIR record as well as Linear score at the description. The DHIR Record will look something like this:
2-00 228   1977  3.9  78  3.3  65  (in prog), this translates to 2 years at freshening, milked for 228 days, made 1977 lbs of milk, with a 3.9% of Butterfat yield (78 lbs) and 3.3% Protein yield (65 lbs) "in prog" means that this lactation in still in progress.   The Linear score will look like this: LA 3-03 FS 90 VEEE, which translates to being appraised at 3 years and 3 months of age, with a final score of 90 out of a possible 100 and a break down of a "V" (85-89 points) for General Appearance and an "E" (90 and above) for the categories in the order of Dairy Character - Body and Mammary.

DHIR testing and Linear Appraisal have both been wonderful learning experiences, and we hope to continue with them in the years to come.

Please take note the links at the bottom of each animals description that connects that animal to other closely related animals.  This is provided as a quick reference to each family tree.

We will be freshening about 18 LaManchas and 3 Nigerians this year, many fine kids will be for sale as we must keep our herd numbers to a manageable size.

I would very much like to thank Renee Perkins of the Royal Ransom Herd, for her extensive help and knowledge of bloodlines and breedings tips and for usage of outstanding bloodlines in our herd, without her help and the use of several fine bucks from her herd, we would not have the consistent quality we have today.

I would also like to thank all the other people and herds, from whom I have been able to obtain many of the outstanding bloodlines and animals we have in our herd today.

I hope you enjoy the site and the type of dairy goats we are striving to produce, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Andrea Forrest of Forrest Pride Dairy Goats © 1997, 2007 Page design and content by Andrea Forrest Global Advertising Solutions Corp. All Rights Reserved
