Have you ever considered raising goats on your farm or homestead? Compact, hardy, and endlessly entertaining, these small ruminants can be equally challenging and rewarding to raise for meat, dairy, and companions. Veterans are invited to join this free virtual seminar to learn more about the options for getting started with goat production, and how to get started on the right hoof. Selecting goats for purchase can be a daunting task, but we'll equip you with the tools and know how you need to select
animals that will make your goat adventures worthwhile.
