Are you considering raising goats, but not sure what you need to know before making such a big commitment?  Come to our Goat Adoption class to learn more!  This is the perfect time to add goats to your homestead, and this class will help prepare you for that possibility.
We’ll talk about basic needs, benefits and costs of goats to see if they are for you.  We’ll discuss shelter, feeding, fencing and predator protection.  Hands on tips on picking your goats, understanding the goat psyche, and learning what is normal in goats and how to observe, assess and take action as necessary.  You’ll gain knowledge on ruminant animals and why understanding this is important to their care.  This class is perfect for first time goat owners, adults, and children.  It can also be helpful to goat owners wanting to improve their knowledge level and understanding of these lovely animals!
