During the year 2004, the MDGA
assigned a committee of experienced breeders, who were
familiar with and understood the DHI process and regulations
to assist the MDGA in developing a "Milk Test Program".
Lisa-Jo Helgesen headed this committee and spent endless
hours researching and tabulating milk scores before coming
up with a "Milk Test", that would best support and properly
record the Results of the Mini Dairy Goats in a precise and
fair manner and give recognition of the does who adequately
meet these requirements. Her work was presented to the
committee which then voted on it and in the Spring of 2004,
MDGA's first Milk Program was implemented. Following
are the rules and regulations for the MDGA Milk Program...

Special thanks is given by MDGA to
Lisa-Jo who spent endless hours working on this program,
and who had volunteered to see its implementation and
recordation properly maintained until her death in
November 2004.
