Introduction by Peter Snyder, Awards Committee Chair
We are pleased to announce this initial release of herd names meeting the criteria of “Herd of Distinction.” This new award level, HERD OF DISTINCTION, was approved by the Board of Directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
The purpose is to recognize those herds that have demonstrated a level of distinction above all others over time by ADGA programs such as DHI Production, Linear Appraisal and Shows. The complete criteria can be found in the ADGA Guidebook under the Awards Committee.
Herds qualifying for this current list have met the required criteria between 1990 (when ADGA computerization began) and the end of 2020. New additions will be announced each year at the Awards Banquet during Annual Convention.
I would like to thank the Awards Committee and the Board of Directors for creating and approving this award. By this Herd of Distinction Award we honor all the dedicated breeders whose high standards, perseverance, and success continue to elevate the quality and standards for dairy goats in the United States and ultimately throughout the rest of the world.
