Conformation of the Dairy Goat
Conformation is how well a goat conforms to the ideal according to breed. For the ADGA animal, conformation is the same across all breeds, except for breed specific characteristics such as ears, color, and stature. Below, you will find drawings of the ideal dairy goat. Why use drawings to show the ideal? Well, simply because there is no such thing as a PERFECT dairy goat.
