FYI
ADGA approves Owner Sampler plan for use in the DHIR program!


ADGA members, with the approval of their local associations, can now participate in DHIR using Owner Sampler Plan '40' beginning in 2004.

Features of the plan are:

 

* All DHI management information

* Herd/Individual Records

* STAR (ST) Volume eligibility*

* Affordability

* Flexibility

* Availability

 

As with all plans recognized for use in ADGA, there are requirements for acceptance of records into the STAR Volume. These are:

* Application/fees to ADGA DHIR

* Herd verification test between 60 and 150 days in milk

* Minimum data collection rating of '75'

* Owner responsibility to send in completed lactation record

 

All requirements of the ADGA DHIR program will apply to the Owner Sampler Test Plan, including those set for verification testing.

 

*The *M will be equivalent to those earned in a One-Day Milking Competition but with increased opportunity to earn Star recognition based on the yield minimums set forward in the ADGA guidebook. As part of the STAR (ST) volume, Owner Sampler records are not eligible for Breed Leader (Top Ten) recognition nor will appear on Performance Pedigrees, features that are part of the ADVANCED REGISTRY (AR) Volume. Records will be included in the Performance Volumes.

For members interested in more information, look for additional ADGA provided information soon!

What happens when winter time is here

the goat chores are done

there are no milkers to milk

So, what happens on those wintery days or nights when you have

 1) nothing to do

2) a sharp knife

3) a large lime

4) a patient cat

5) too much tequila

6) and it's football season?
