What is the difference between a grade goat and a purebred goat?
Purebred goats have registration papers issued by an association (such as the American Dairy Goat Association). Grade goats do not have papers and may be of mixed parentage ( Crossbreds are a mix of two breeds – some grade goats have more than two breeds in their parentage.) The advantage of registered goats is that you know who their parents are and what their performance was – how much milk did the dam give, how large were the meat kids, etc…
