In order for a doe to receive a milk star from a registry she must go through a milk test where specific amounts of milk and butterfat are met. Milk stars are great accomplishments showing a doe's ability to be a higher than average milker. We test with two registries, the American Dairy Goat Association and the American Goat Society.
