Linear Appraisal Scheduling
Browse linear appraisal hosts and regional circuit coordinators. ADGA and AGS linear appraisal is the structural and dairy-character record that drives prefix earned classifications, marketing strength, and breeding decisions for serious dairy goat operations — but it only happens when someone pulls neighboring herds together to meet the minimums. This page is for finding that person.

What to Look For When Hiring or Hosting
- Track record. A coordinator who has successfully run multiple seasons knows the breed-club, appraiser-availability, and weather realities you'll otherwise learn the hard way.
- Biosecurity posture. Visiting herds need a documented intake. CAE / CL / Johne's expectations should be clear before anyone agrees to come.
- Facility match. Stanchions, footing, water, shade, and milking access on appraisal day.
- Roster discipline. Programs have minimum animal counts. Honest commitment-gathering ahead of the date avoids cancellations.
- Cost-share clarity. Appraiser travel, mileage, and host-facility cost-share should be transparent before signup.
