This one-day class will provide a good introduction to family dairy-goat husbandry. You will learn about the different breeds of goats, how to choose a good daily goat, how to keep your goat healthy and how to milk. We will show you how to trim hooves, share plans for barns and milk stands, and we will discuss pasture care for sustainability. Breeding, kidding and kid care will also be included.

This class will involve outdoor activities. Please bring a wide-brimmed hat and wear long sleeves. Also, bring appropriate clothing for cold or inclement weather. No shorts or sandals, please.
