Just wondering

Just wondering about how records are done on the high producing high dollar dairy goats.
Is there a program like DHIA (that we use for cows) for goats?
Are there guys who come out once a month and record weights and take samples or is it mainly an owner sampler kind of thing?
Do a lot of you use that program if available or do you just weigh your own and sample the milk if you want?

Some folks have their goats on milk test. People can get certified to do this and goats can earn their milking stars. Other folks weigh their own milk for their own information. I haven't weighed mine, but will measure how many quarts per day a doe gives.
