Today we were totally surprised by a friend deciding to reduce her herd, and she gave us 5 goats! I am very excited, these are some well bred goats! I feel so bad she had to reduce her herd size, she loves her goats dearly, but I can't help but being excited for myself!

We now have a good buck! My Kids Farm KT Drumrollplz he has had a LA, and I don't know how to interpret it. :hu
Can anyone help me out?

Well his final score was 84...which is average. I'll get you a link to how to interpret the individual scores.

The thing that pretty bad in his appraisal are his feet. They got an F (fair)...and one thing you really want are strong feet and legs, especially in a buck. In bucks, feet and legs are 24 points out of 56 - so a big deal...

Still, hitting in the average is not shabby! Just be sure to breed him to does with very correct feet and legs...

Nother question, one of the does I got as well is supposed to be purebred, but she has really long legs! Can she be just a tall Nigie? According to her paper work she is:
