Does it also mean people come from Good stocks?

Showing my age perhaps but I recently referred to a young woman whose family I have known for several generations as being from good stock.

I considered it to be compliment to daughter but the look on her face was one of confusion I think.

Has this phrase gone out of style to the point of being offensive? I

am in my 10th year in Government now. I want a new career.
