Our first linear appraisal was such a learning experience. Not only about our own animals, but also about the LA program and how to interpret scores on animals that evaluating/contemplating adding genetics from. This is such a valuable program!

There were a few surprises, with some animals scoring higher than I thought they would and a couple scoring lower. Condition of the animal, time since freshening, animal health and so many other factors go into the appearance of the animal on the day of appraisal. I think it will be very interesting to track these animals as they grow and mature and see how their scores change!

My yearling FF girls were complimented on their productive mammaries with great support, attachment and shape, but we’ll be working on adding medial and improving teat placement. Additionally, we’ll be working on front ends.
