Can someone please translate this?

I'm looking at my new bucks pedigree, this is his mother:

DILL'S EX HALEY
N1458661 PTI -78 -110
02-00 77 AV+A
PTA -19M -3F -1P -.60T
DEV 0 0 0
PTA$ -4 -6 33R
PTA% 23R 08/17 -.10 -.04 11/16

What does all this mean? I've tried googling but I didn't find anything that explained it plainly.

This was on the ADGA genetics page:

Registered Name Milk Fat Fat% Prot Prot%
DILL'S EX HALEY -19 -2.500 -0.100 -1.300 -0.040
-PTA Combined- -19 -2.500 -0.100 -1.300 -0.040

So, what she a good milker, mediocre, bad?

I am still working at understanding all this but....
as a 2 year old the dam appraised as AV+A 77 right there IMO says that every buck out of this doe should be wethered.
Unless the sire of the buck was really stellar. Of course appraisal really has nothing to do with milk...
There was a way to go in and read the explanation for all this- now I see you have to log in and go through the site...

this explains some of it. not that I really understand what it says.

The sire's mother's pedigree, sire's father is very similar. Grand-dam was apparently never tested.

I can login to ADGA, but no idea how to find anything that explains it "in English" - I read through some of it but came out more confused than I started.

Here is a screenshot of his dam's LA numbers. She scored "Acceptable" in both general appearance and mammary system which is not good. Do you have any pictures of her?

While all these number and names can be an indicator of what to expect it can also mean absolutely nothing. I have a doe that missed the train when getting genes for her udder. She milks like a dream but her udder is UGLY. Her litter mate sister is a grand champion. Go Figure.

Agree! Millie is a trainwreck in the rear but she milks like a machine, has will to milk etc... BUT her bucks are all wethered. We always put great bucks over her and it shows in the offspring.

But this is a buck... not a doe

Good point.
