I'm soo new at goats! We are attempting to build a small quality herd for my daughters 4H project. Would this doe be worth adding to our group?

I'm keeping the mentality: Show not commercial. Quality not

She looks pretty sturdy to me esp in the butt but it could be the winter coat. Could be a bit wider in front.
What's her teat structure like?
Very nice for a %.
Looks like a decent Doe.

I kinda like her. She has a lot of winter hair which is understandable, but makes it a little hard to tell what's what. I like that she is obviously socialized with people.
ETA. If her bite is off, she will be DQd in an ABGA show. Her babies would be more likely to have bad bites as well.

Her bite is off? How off? If you are going for quality and especially show quality...her bite can't be off...
They said she would not pass inspection & that she is monkey mouthed.
If she won't pass inspection and has a bad mouth you would be better off to pass on her. Commercial.. maybe. Show quality, no.
Ok passing.

Appreciate all the input!
Those that raise registered may say something else. But I would never buy one like that to put in a show herd. We have a small commercial herd that we use for 4h.
Off bite for show goats, definitely not good and I wouldn't get her. Glad you are passing on her.
