Production:
Rowe’s Toggenburg does continued to demonstrate their longevity and lifetime production potential in 2002. Flora (33,090 M 994F 894P) exceeded 33,000 lbs milk in 9 lactations. Her daughter Fern (305D 5260M 135F 125P) was the 2002 ADGA Toggenburg Breed Leader (#1 for Milk, Fat & Protein). Fern was also the Supreme Dairy Goat Total Performer over all breeds at the 2002 California State Fair, an honor her dam Flora received in ‘98, ‘00 and ‘01.
