Question by Lua: Dairy Goat Milk Competition, how do I read the scores?
I am trying to understand dairy goat milk competition. At ADGA they have some scores that I don’t really get, how do I read the scores?

Age: 2-01 (What age is that?)
DIM: 280 (What is that?)
Milk: 3610 (That amount means what? Per year?)
F: 157 ( Does it stand for Fat? The amount means what?)
P: 129 ( Does it stand for Protein? The amount means what?)
