Unexpected SG awarded

I was doing something totally unrelated and wanted to check something on ADGA. I got a suprise and saw that my doe, Grace-Hill Magnolia, was awarded her SG. She got this designation on her 2 year old FF lactation in 2011. She hasn't been on test but I plan on enrolling for this coming season. Was to busy to do the 2012 year and though they were enrolled, I told the DHIR they were dry because I couldn't handle the extra work after transferring to MSU and living away from home most of the week - though I didn't dry them off, lol. Didn't even try in 2013 to be on test. I'm hoping to enroll the herd again this year now that I've got a couple young animals especially that would benefit from being on test.

This is my first doe with an SG awarded, had to look up how they are awarded. I imagine she acheived this on her PTI ratios?

You might as well be speaking Greek to me, but congratulations on your doe's win!

I have my first 2 as well! My does were both appraised at 90 this year; one of them had been in milk 12 months at appraisal!
